CHALKDOWN GROUP RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION

Based in Staplehurst, Kent, the Group provides therapeutic riding sessions for adults and children in the community with a broad range of physical and mental disabilities. Although part of the National Riding for the Disabled Association it is run on a completely independent and voluntary basis.

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
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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