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 Summary of the main to more independence in their personal life.

Section D Achievements and performance

R2S has experienced incredible growth and progress during the 2022- Summary of the main 2023 period, further enhancing accessibility and inclusivity for disabled achievements of the charity young people in sports and leisure activities. The club has been during the year dedicated to promoting social inclusion and improving the quality of life for its members. The increase in requests for adapted sports activities from young people and other organisations is a testament to the club's growth and impact. This year, R2S has extended its program to carers, specifically young carers, providing them with much-needed respite and the opportunity to connect with other young people facing similar situations. This initiative was driven by our members and has been a tremendous success. Moreover, we have been developing coaches who will contribute to the broader community and potentially secure paid coaching positions with partnered agencies. Investing in our dedicated volunteers has allowed R2S to thrive from within, as some members have achieved accredited coaching qualifications and are now able to deliver services in the community. For instance, one of our long-standing volunteers has progressed from a Group Leader to become our Head Coach. Their journey highlights the growth and potential inherent in our organisation. Through the various opportunities provided by R2S, our members have grown in confidence, developed their physical skills, and even gained formal qualifications that contribute to their sense of independence. The club has gained recognition for delivering high-quality accessible sports programs, leading to an increasing demand for our services within and beyond our immediate club setting. Thanks to the support of grant-giving organisations, R2S has been able to offer sessions including horse riding and sports to those in need. Overall, this has been an incredibly successful year for R2S. Our members have not only enjoyed participating in activities they may not have otherwise had access to, but they have also experienced a genuine sense of achievement and inclusion. While we have adapted to online interactions and home exercise, being able to work face-to-face with the young people again and embark on new projects has been absolutely fantastic

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

As a small charity we have little in the way of reserves. However we have managed to increase the reserve fund from £7000 - £8000 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.
