MAISEMORE RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION INCORPORATING CARRIAGE DRIVING

We have four ponies based at Hartpury University.We provide riding sessions on Tuesdays in term time for children from two local special schools.The charity consists solely of volunteers, some of whom are qualified RDA coaches who provide the lesson structure and instruction required.Training is given to enable the remaining volunteers to lead the ponies or sidewalk to provide the support needed.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
