SOUTH DOWNS RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION

To provide riding opportunities for disabled children & adults
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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