responsibilities Of with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
trustees and examiner Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section
44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis ofindependent My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts

charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken

From this body is elected a chair, a treasurer and a secretary. ## Objectives and Activities The organisation’s principal purpose is to promote the objects of the Riding for the Disabled Association (Charity Number SCO 39473) which is to provide disabled people with the means to ride and its activities are focussed on the attainment of this objective. ## Financial Management and Resources The Trustees always ensure that the organisation has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities, pursue its objectives, finance its activities and generally act in relation to its financial husbandry in a prudent and responsible manner. In the year under review to end March 2025, the Trustees, in approving and adopting these Financial Accounts, are satisfied that these duties and requirements have been followed. The organisation has benefitted over the financial year from the fundraising efforts of our members and volunteers, as well as from the continuing generosity of our donors: to all who assisted and contributed, we extend heartfelt thanks. ## Year Highlights We currently have 27 riders, none on our waiting list, and we delivered over 550 participant sessions over our regular Monday afternoon and Saturday morning rides. The experience of riding and being with horses continues greatly to benefit all our participants and this experience is delivered selflessly and with great consideration by our coaches and volunteers to whom I extend both admiration and great thanks. Four of our riders qualified at the Regionals for the National Championships and, although in the end unable to attend the latter, are due our congratulations. ## Chair ## **Tweeddale Rideability Group Receipts and Payment Account** ## **For the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 Schedule of Assets-At Cost** ## **2023-24** |**Income**
