Deerview Equine Interventions

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 April 2025

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

The ReStart course is a high impact equine-assisted programme for improving emotional regulation and thinking skills. 5 consecutive days of 1.5 hour sessions (plus a 1 hour taster session pre course and a 1.5 hour top up session post course) concentrating on 8 core skills for those referred by frontline professionals when talking isn't working.

Lighter touch sessions - 1-2 hour sessions: These include weekly Alternative Education and school holiday sessions (for participants who have completed the ReStart course), as well as highlight sessions as a "lighter touch" option to our ReStart course for up to 3 service users at a time.

Non-verbals Toolbox workshops - For frontline professionals, participants from 12yrs+ and family members or carers. A fun and interactive 1.5 hour workshop on accurately reading body language and applying non-verbal strategies - reduce problem behaviours and build positive ones.

The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.

We supported 56 individuals this year and were, again, able to focus on more ongoing support for our ReStart participants.

We delivered TheHorseCourse ReStart intervention to 35 people and 14 holiday horsemanship sessions to 13 existing ReStart participants as ongoing support.

We started our Future of Horsemanship programme for 6 existing service users.

We delivered 2 Non-verbals toolbox workshops, both to other organisations within the voluntary sector. One as CPD for staff and one as a workshop for staff and service users.

We have delivered 1:1 alternative provision for 5 students during this reporting period.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

The main achievement on the Charity in the year has been maintaining our current, and continuing to form new relationships with local organisations and schools, as well as increasing our reach to service users. We employed 2 contractors to help with service delivery, one of whom completed her training to become an approved TheHorseCourse Facilitator. We also started a new project called The Future of Horsemanship - for ReStart course graduates who wanted to learn more about the horses and hone their skills.

We've continued to work in collaboration with BCP and Dorset Local Authorities, CAMHS, other local charities, schools and NHS addiction services.

We finished service delivery of our projects with Dorset Community Foundation , CAMHS, The Valentine Charitable Trust and Albert Hunt and have been successful in securing funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, as well as another round of funding from Dorset Community Foundation and the Valentine Trust.

Fundraising activities during the year.

Our fundraising activities this year included successful grant applications including The National Lottery Community Fund, Pets Foundation, Dorset Community Foundation and the Valentine Trust.

We have also received a number of personal donations as well as donations through PayPal Just Giving fund.

Certain services delivered in partnership with Local Authorities generate income, and any surplus is applied exclusively to support our charitable objectives.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 April 2025

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.

Our beneficiaries are referred to us via other services when they are struggling to engage or respond to talk based therapy or intervention. Our purpose is to engage those individuals and offer them a different way of learning resilience skills so they can re-engage with or access their referring organisation’s support. We follow up with referrers and beneficiaries/families following completion of our ReStart course to gain an insight into how successful we have been with our intervention. Overall our follow up data has been positive, here’s a snippet of comments from some of our beneficiaries and referring professionals:

'Attendance has increased, she has been completing more work in lessons and is less afraid to tackle new concepts. She has not such a strong fear of failure as she had prior to the course. Her resilience has increased. She is more likely to continue working when she comes up against a perceived barrier. She is now able to speak up to her peers when she is not happy with something they are doing or saying. She has begun to openly disagree with them when she wants to rather than being pushed into a situation that she doesn’t want to be in. She is able to choose to make the right choices. Her confidence has improved exponentially. She is so much more comfortable in herself and has begun to express herself with her clothing choices and make up. She has also made some positive decisions about future career choices. She came back from the course “absolutely buzzing”. She could not stop talking about it to her peers and highly recommended it to others. Thank you for everything you do, you are actively changing these children’s lives.'

'The Horse Course’s impact on her well-being has been remarkable. She has become noticeably more positive, approaching each day with more confidence and enthusiasm. Her attitude towards school has improved significantly; where she once found it challenging to engage, she is now more willing to participate and take on new learning opportunities. Her attendance has also improved, as she feels more settled and capable of managing the school day. The horse therapy sessions have

provided her with a valuable toolkit to help her stay calm and regulate her emotions.'

I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others. I feel the course helped me find my 'neutral' so I can relax in tense situations, and helped to teach me assertiveness. I'm more tolerant of busy places and I don't get overwhelmed so quickly. I feel more confident, less anxious, my mood has improved, I have better control over my energy and emotions, I can deal with situations more positively, I feel more focused, I feel like I've achieved something and feel happier in myself.'

Following consultation with our beneficiaries and feedback from referrers we have been keen to continue to support our service users longer term. We have continued with the holiday horsemanship sessions to offer our service users a chance to return on completion of the ReStart course ,reconnect with the horses and meet other young people who experience similar life challenges. We have also started a project called 'The Future of Horsemanship' where our young service users who show a particular interest and love for the horses are taught a deeper understanding of the horses and the horsemanship connecting with others who share the same interest. We are keen to offer supported volunteer opportunities to our adult service users, and this is something we are hoping to be able to do in the near future.

The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.

By helping participants re-establish connections with family, friends, education, and support networks, our work strengthens communities and supports long-term independence. This approach reduces the likelihood of social exclusion and ongoing dependence on services and government support, while increasing participants’ ability to contribute positively to society.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 April 2025

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report was approved by the board of trustees on 6 February 2026.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 8 to 24 for the year ended 30 April 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 14.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 6, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

7

Deerview Equine Interventions

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination;

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Going Concern

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2022, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

As at the 30 April 2025, none of the grant income is shown as deferred.

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity.

However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose.
