When planning the Charity's activities for the year the Trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
The Trustees consider that the performance of the Charity this year has ben satisfactory. As a result of COVID-19 this has been a challenging year for the Trustees and the staff. The Charity had to close its services to the public for most of the period up to 31 March 2021 and the Charity's main objectives became maintaining the welfare of the Charity's horses and the staff.
The Trustees and staff had to adapt its operational changes to minimise the impacts to the Charity. Financial support provided from local donations, grants from the government and other organisations have supported and secured both the Charity's financial and non-financial activities enabling the charity to continue as a going concern.
Funds have been kindly donated from various organisations and people within the local community during the year to support the charity.

The Trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to be satisfactory. The reserves stand at £160,016 in total on page 5.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 17 October 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
Jean Miller - Trustee

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUNEATON & WARWICKSHIRE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE RIDING FOR DISABLED**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Nuneaton & Warwickshire Equestrian Centre Riding for Disabled**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Nuneaton & Warwickshire Equestrian Centre Riding for Disabled (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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.
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 accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
|Freehold property|- over the lease term|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|- 25% on reducing balance|
|Motor vehicles|- 25% on reducing balance|
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
## **Basic financial assets**
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price.
## **Basic financial liabilities**
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors that are classified as debt, are recognised at transaction price.
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.
