WORMWOOD SCRUBS PONY CENTRE

Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre teaches riding, horse care and therapy to children and young people. Many of the children are disabled and come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The children would not otherwise have the opportunity to have the experience of interacting with animals and taking part in this sport.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
