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.
RDACCG was established in 1975 to provide recreational and therapeutic riding opportunities for persons with a disability living in Coleraine and surrounding districts (now combined as the Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council Area). We will celebrate 50 years of service to the community in August 2025, the Group has provided services to over 6000 clients, currently about 250 per year.
It is a cross-community voluntary organisation set up to provide disabled people with the opportunity to ride and/ or work with horses, which has physical and psychological benefits to health and well-being. It also uses its facilities to promote inclusion amongst young people in our community by welcoming and engaging with those vulnerable, at risk, and most excluded from society, by providing education and the opportunity to work with the horses in a safe and supportive environment. It provides education and helps build confidence and social skills for both participants and its volunteers, encourages participation in sport, and supports and enables sporting ambition and excellence.
As well as offering riding opportunities, RDACCG offers a number of employability courses for volunteers, riders and the general community. These courses are designed to develop knowledge and skills and build confidence and self-esteem, enhance CVs, and increase the likelinood of gaining employment.
RDACCG is the only voluntary organisation in the North West catchment area that runs equestrian activities for disabled users on a voluntary ‘not for profit’ basis. Its current facility sits on 22 acres of land and comprises state of the art indoor and outdoor arenas, both with warm up areas, and the indoor arena is equipped to enable disabled riders to mount and fully engage in a riding experience.
The centre currently draws its user base from the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area.
As well as providing a wide range of activities for the disabled in the local community, RDACCG also supports and provides a high-quality service to the wider equestrian community across N Ireland, which includes delivering riding lessons and offering hire of the arena facilities. RDACCG also organises a number of highprofile equestrian events throughout the year to generate income to subsidise the costs of core RDA activities.
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 2025
Achievements and performance
Our RDA centre is going from strength to strength, entering an exciting new chapter marked by growth and new collaborations.
The dynamic Board has ensured strengthened leadership and enhanced governance structures which promote openness, transparency and accountability, while time aligning our strategic direction with the evolving needs of our service users.
Continued success in fundraising efforts has allowed us to invest in key areas of infrastructure, including the development of several new turnout areas, the beginnings of a new track system and there has been significant investment in our arena surfaces which has led directly to increased arena hire and reputational elevation within the equestrian community. This has also had a very positive impact on this particular income stream.
We have also expanded our services, with more RDA Coaches trained, to accommodate more RDA riders than ever before, with plans to deliver even more again from September 2025.
We are also now supporting a growing number of British Horse Society (BHS) riders, broadening the scope of our reach and inclusivity.
A significant milestone has been the establishment of a formal referral pathway in partnership with the local MultiDisciplinary Health Service Team. This collaboration has improved access to our services for individuals who are most in need of therapeutic support, creating a seamless connection between healthcare professionals and equine-assisted activities.
Additionally, we are actively developing partnerships with other charitable organisations to extend our impact further. One such initiative involves working closely with Women's Aid to design and deliver tailored therapeutic programmes and interventions for their service users.
These collaborations reflect our commitment to addressing a wide range of social and emotional needs through the transformative power of the horse-human connection. With these foundations in place, we are poised for sustained growth and deeper community engagement.

21. ~ Financial commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities
Certain grants received and receivable may become repayable to the funder if the charity is no longer able to meet the conditions under which they were awarded. Due to the nature of these contingencies it may not be possible to quantify the potential financial effect or give an indication of the timing as to the liabilities that may arise.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and Sport Northern Ireland hold charges over land and premises situated at 155A Castleroe for security over the obligations of the Company to repay any financial assistance.
