TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 2019).”

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to promote the objects of The Riding for the Disabled Association incorporating Carriage Driving (registered company number 5010395 and a charity registered in England and Wales under charity number 244108) by providing disabled people with the opportunity to ride and/or to carriage drive to benefit their health and well-being in the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Area.

Our mission is to aid the personal development of riders. Working with horses is well documented to aid physical, mental and social and emotional development. We provide a platform for experience in working as a group, working with and helping to care for large animals, taking instruction, communicating with others, tactile development, and learning to recognise and take responsibility for another's wellbeing (horses, helpers), including safe operating practices. Riding also provides independent movement to wheelchair users – riding simulates walking.

The Centre seeks to develop clients to the extent of their ability, having riders competing annually in the RDA National Championships, Paralympics and Special Olympic events at regional, national and international levels. The overall experience promotes amazing confidence and life skills, and the achievements and developments of our riders generates respect from the wider community, as evidenced by the support the Group receives.

Riding can be a dangerous activity. However, all instructors and volunteers and staff are trained, and regularly assessed to standards determined by the National Riding for the Disabled Association. In addition the centre meets the standards and is licensed as a Riding School by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, and holds both British Horse Society and Pony Club UK approval as a recognised Equestrian Centre.

One of the aims of the group is to extend the capacity of volunteers to improve services to clients, and broaden their life experience. Incidentally this helps the ability in life skills, giving experiences and confidences not likely to be readily achieved elsewhere.

All volunteers are given basic training in equestrian issues, health & safety, safeguarding and protection issues and team working. In addition, young people are given the opportunity to undertake a range of qualifications to authenticate their experience, including the Young Equestrian Leaders Award and Millennium Volunteers.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance

This has been a period of change for the charity, with a change of guard at board level.

Some long-standing board members were replaced with new trustees, whose qualifications and expertise better align with the charity's mission and goals.

There had been a lack of financial visibility and a disconnect around procedural propriety which led to a need for change.

The new board has put in place improved governance structures and enhanced transparency and accountability measures. Decision-making is effective and democratic and always in the best Interests of the charity. Financial management continued to be enhanced to include better budgeting, reporting and oversight.

The charity made three redundancies in this financial year. One of these was in September 2023, and the other two in December 2023. Redundancy payments totalling £11,902 were paid out in respect of these. The operational impact has been nugatory, with volunteers stepping up to bridge the gap, but the financial impact has been significantly to our benefit.

The charity now has a renewed and clear strategic direction, and the new board has made significant investment and improvements to increase our efficiency and effectiveness within the community. This has had a positive impact on our beneficiaries with improved infrastructure and increased service delivery.

We have built strong collaborative relationships with the community and other stakeholders, such as the local NHS multidisciplinary team, with whom, in partnership, we run a number of therapeutic programs for the young people in our community, an enhanced service which we can now deliver.

We continue to fundraise and to develop our resources, with particular attention to training and developing our volunteers.

We ensure compliance at every level from ethical to procedural and are committed to ensuring that our charity can continue to meet the evolving needs of our community.

Financial review

The company returned net expenditure for the year of £119,531 (2023 - £85,614). As at 31st March 2024 the total funds of the charity amounted to £824,622 (2023 - £944,153) comprising designated funds of £474,839 (2023 - £600,547), restricted funds of £30,323 (2023 - £23,870) and general unrestricted funds of £319,460 (2023 - £319,736).

Of the total funds reported above, £22,250 is made up of cash at bank and in hand, with bank debt of £11,071.

Risk

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Reserves

The Trustees endeavour to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

Plans for the future

The charity plans to continue to grow and to aid the personal development of the riders as the finances of the organisation permits.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

RDA Causeway Coast & Glens Ltd registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland on 18 July 2017.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RDA CAUSEWAY COAST & GLENS LTD

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The Trustees, who are also the directors of RDA Causeway Coast & Glens Ltd for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity Trustees concerning any such matters.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to our attention giving us cause to believe:

  1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006

  2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records

  3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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

  4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination and I have identified matters of concern that give me reasonable cause to believe that the accounts prepared for the company are not fully compliant with the accounting requirements of section 396 of Companies Act 2006 and have not been prepared fully in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities. The trustees have prepared a Statement of Financial Activities incorporating an income and expenditure account. However sufficient records have not been maintained. No records have been kept in respect of grants received totalling £3,551 or whether these have been spent correctly. This amount was applied for under the previous finance team and no records were maintained. Some record of cash income and expenditure has been maintained along with some purchase invoices for examination but these are incomplete. The trustees have made significant progress to ensure that adequate records are maintained going forward.

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

RDA Causeway Coast & Glens Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office is 184 Castleroe Road, Coleraine, Co Londonderry, BT51 3RW.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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). 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 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

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The designated funds for fixed assets is that part of unrestricted funds that represents fixed assets held.

Restricted funds are funds donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

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. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

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:

Land and buildings 5% straight line Plant and machinery 25% reducing balance Equipment 15% reducing balance

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.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 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.

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.

RDA CAUSEWAY COAST & GLENS LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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 and bank loans 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.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Grants

Capital grants are included as incoming resources when receivable and categorised within designated funds. Depreciation is subsequently charged against the fund each year equivalent to the rates on the relevant assets in question.

Grants of a revenue nature are credited to income in the period to which they relate.

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.
