NEWHAM RIDING SCHOOL AND ASSOCIATION LIMITED 

Therapeutic and recreational horse riding for disabled people. Recreational and sporting horse riding and stable management. Training to local young adults leading to professional qualifications as riding instructors.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
