WILTON RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION

Wilton RDA offers the opportunity to disabled people to take part in the sport of horse riding. Our riding centre is in the small town of Wilton in Wiltshire where we have a number of horses suitable for riding by disabled people well supported by volunteers in a sheltered environment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly 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
