Our Action
Our activities include research, advocacy, dissemination and extensive collaboration and engagement with the Thoroughbred Industry, EAS sectors, experts in equine behaviour and welfare and experts in human physical and mental health. Methodologies include specially commissioned international pilot schemes and events as well as analysis and reporting on the use of off-track Thoroughbreds within the wider EAS context. Racing To Relate has been invited to offer evidence-based leadership and guidance for key industry conferences in 2024 for both the Racing Industry and EAS Sector. Our current focus is implementation of findings and we are making significant inroads with industry stakeholders, particularly in the UK where our research will be the evidence base for guidelines being drafted in collaboration with multiple stakeholders and in France with the EAS, equestrian and health care sectors.
Highlighted Action :
Our PhD research project with University of Bristol :
A Pioneering and Collaborative Study: 'Selection and Education of Former Racehorses (Thoroughbreds) for Equine Assisted Therapy: Developing the Evidence Base for a Global Standard’
This collaborative PhD research with the University of Bristol has kindly been made possible with funding from the John Pearce Foundation. The comprehensive and collaborative research project informs our strategy now and in the future in line with Good Impact Practice.
The research team and Racing To Relate Team have presented the first results of the study at multiple international scientific and industry conferences and events in this period.
The feedback from the conference organisers, participants, our funders, industry members and related stakeholders has been excellent.
First Scientific Article Published in Animal Welfare Journal :
Recent findings from the first (survey) phase of the study are now published in a first scientific article in Animal Welfare Journal which highlights detailed data on TBs and other breeds (OBs) of horses actively participating in EAS programmes:
The selection, training and welfare of post-racing thoroughbreds and other breeds used in Equine Assisted Services
Published in Animal Welfare, 33, e44, 1-15 published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Universities Federation of Animal Welfare.
Funding
We are immensely grateful to our funders and partners for their support which enables us to pursue our charitable activities in line with our charity’s vision. This year included private and individual donations and a legacy donation from the Michael Kirk and Noreen Blyth-Whitlock Charitable Trust. Our particular gratitude to the Childwick Trust, the John Pearce Foundation, the Sir Peter O’Sullivan Charitable Trust and the Down Royal Corporation of Horsebreeders.
We have an active CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) account and online donation facility and we are recognised for gift aid.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
Structure, governance and management
The Board meets four times a year, and gives detailed consideration to monitoring the progress of the Charity in achieving its performance and quality objectives, current and future projects, financial matters, as well as the identification and management of risk. The Trustees and the CEO has developed a budget to achieve the objectives of the Charity and the CEO has been charged by the Board to be responsible for the delivery of this plan, reporting to the Board on monthly performance.
The Trustees delegate responsibility for the day-to-day operation and management of the Charity to the CEO. The CEO attends charity networking events and meets with colleagues so that any relevant information, such as new Charity Commission requirements, and sectoral developments relating to good practice and impact measurement, are reported to the Trustees.
The Trustees consider recruitment of new Trustees as the need arises. Applications from suitable candidates would be sought by identifying specific gaps in professional skills and seeking recommendations of professionally qualified candidates, if necessary, placing advertisements in suitable publications. A new Trustee would be provided with information on the activities, financing and management structure of the Charity, together with Charity Commission guidance and codes of conduct related to the roles and responsibilities of Trustees.
Financial review
The results for the CIO’s year end were in line with the trustees’ expectations, with income from grant awards representing income for the year of £85,272. Total expenditure in the year was £104,931.
A cautious approach to expenditure was adopted. There were cash balances of £16,092 at the year end.
Investment policy
The Charity holds cash balances.
Going concern
The full funding for our three-year research project with the University of Bristol (total of £157,000) obtained in 2021 included £25,400 allocated to Racing to Relate for project liaison costs during the 2024-2025 financial period
As at the year-end, our unrestricted fund balance was £19,611.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have set a policy of maintaining reserves equivalent to six months’ expenditure. This is reviewed periodically.
Restricted and unrestricted funds
The funds at the year end include unrestricted fund and restricted funds.
Risk
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified by the Trustees and procedures established to mitigate these risks are monitored and reviewed regularly and have been recorded in the risk register. We minimise finance risk by the preparation and monitoring of monthly accounts, budgets; strategic risk by the maintenance of good practice in the allocation of grants; and operational risk and regulation compliance risk through the regular review of activities and the use of professional advisers.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Racing to Relate is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) incorporated in England and Wales (Registered Charity No.1182855). The registered office is 82 St John Street, London, EC1M 4JN.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
1.5 Resources expended
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resources. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
IT Equipment
33.33% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.9 Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
