STEVENAGE AND DISTRICT RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION 

2 Weekly morning sessions are provided by volunteer coaches & helpers for children from 3 local special schools & individual adult riders. Horse care is offered to those who cannot physically ride but benefit from an equestrian experience. Our aim is to give those facing different challenges in life the opportunity to benefit for their health and well being.
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
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
