TYNE & WEAR RDA LIMITED

We provide riding lessons and riding therapy for all ages and levels of disability. We also have an education programme with the horse as the tool, to aid clients to achieve ADSAN and other nationally recognised qualifications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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