BRITISH EVENTING SUPPORT TRUST

Provides invaluable support for injured event riders and to improve the safety and well being of the people at the heart of the sport. The trust aims to help riders through difficult times, whether that be recovering from an eventing accident or coping with mental health challenges.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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 but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
