REHABILITATION, EDUCATION AND ASSESSMENT CENTRE FOR HIPPOTHERAPY

Providing rehabilitation, education and hippotherapy services to assist and improve the lives of people suffering from a range of disabilities and learning challenges

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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