Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

----- Start of picture text -----
Working with disadvantaged and disabled beneficiaries from
Lancashire. Providing leisure and sporting activities as well as
offering education and support for any issues they may be
facing in life. Ride2Success likes to adopt a multi agency
working approach helping individuals in a holistic manner
meaning they achieve the greatest outcomes possible.
1. To promote for the benefit of young or disabled people, in
Preston and the surrounding areas, the provision of facilities for
horse riding in the interests of social welfare and with the object
of improving the conditions of life of the said young or disabled
people.
2. To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25
living in Preston and the surrounding areas by providing advice
and assistance and organising programmes of physical,
educational and other activities as a means of:
(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing
their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to
participate in society as independent, mature and responsible
individuals;
(b) advancing education;
Ride2Success (R2S) offers horse riding and association, sports
and physical activity programmes for disabled young people
who live in Preston and the surrounding boroughs. It provides an
environment where disabled young people can mix and socialise
with their non-disabled peers, actively participating in sports
activities and thereby developing their skills whether that be
physical function, social skills or personal development.
The beneficiaries and volunteers have opportunities to attend
training course and obtain accredited qualifications, for
example, four of our disabled members, received recognised
coaching qualifications and now help provide sport coaching
within R2S. This is a big step and a method we will continue to
use. It has boosted their confidence and skills and led to more
independence in their personal life. Four of our disabled
members have progressed from being participants to becoming
Team Leaders and now lead sessions at R2S.
The R2S environment allows its members to access and enjoy a
range of sports activities at a level of their choice, whether it be
for fun or to participate at a more competitive level, for
example, some members have developed their skills in a
particular sport allowing them to compete not only against other
clubs.
Volunteers gain expedience of working in a fun, creative and
challenging environment with people who have physical and
learning disabilities. They learn how to adapt activities enabling
members with complex needs to access sport and use this
experience to enhance their knowledge in their professions, for
example, we have young volunteers who have progressed and
are currently studying to become sports therapists, doctors,
social workers and teachers.
Parents and carers of R2S members have an opportunity to
socialise, discuss and exchange information regarding benefit
entitlements, experiences and other suitable provision for their

disabled children that may be available in the community. The sessions also allow them some respite.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
R2S does not provide any grants.
We rely heavily on volunteers who do many things at R2S including providing sports coaching, providing 1 to 1 support to the beneficiaries. R2S would not exist without the skilled volunteer base.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
R2S has continued to grow steadily, ensuring accessibility and participation in sports and leisure activities by disabled young people, promoting social inclusion and providing opportunities for them to improve their quality of life. The growth of the club can also be measured by the requests for adapted sports activities made by young people and other organisations.
This year we have continued to extend our programme to carers and in the main young carers. Allowing them to gain the opportunity of respite and engage with other young people in a similar situation. Some of the young people have severely disabled siblings and their parents are unable to invest as much time to them as they would like. The project was a group decision and was requested by our members it has proved to be a huge success. We are also developing coaches who will work across the charity and hopefully progress onto paid coaching work with agencies we have become close to.
Investing in our volunteers has allowed R2S to grow from within and services requested can be delivered by some of our members who have achieved accredited qualifications enabling them to coach in the community. For example, one of our volunteers who has been with the club for over three years, progressed from being a Group Leader to becoming our Head Coach. Our volunteer head coach has moved on to a very exciting role at a professional football club.
Through the opportunities R2S offers, members have become confident in their abilities, developed their physical skills and some have gained formal qualifications helping them towards a level of independence. R2S has firmly cemented its reputation for delivering high quality accessible sports programmes which has led to a demand for its services by beneficiaries and also outside of the club setting. R2S received funding from a number of grant giving organisations which enabled us to provide a number of sessions including horse riding and sports to those in need.
Overall, this has been a highly successful year. A sense of achievement and participation has been felt by all our members, they have enjoyed accessing activities that they may not otherwise experience. The fact that we have continued to take the charity online and do exercise at home but it has been fantastic to work with the young people face to face again and start even more projects.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
As a very new charity we have little in the way of reserves. However we have managed to maintain £7000 which will be used to maintain projects for a short period should we find funding hard to come by. In future R2S will look to have 50% of our annual expenditure in reserve but this will likely be a couple of years down the line.

responsibilities of accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit was trustees and required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 examiner
-
required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general examiner’s Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination statement includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
