CHARD & DISTRICT RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION LIMITED

We organise rides so that disabled people, young and old, have the opportunity to ride ponies/horses which benefit their health and well being. This all takes place in the Chard, Somerset area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 18 years
