MOORCROFT EQUINE REHABILITATION CENTRE 

Our mission is to re-school and rehabilitate former racehorses that have been gifted to us, so that they can have a real chance at a second career. We then take time to match the horse to a suitable new 'keeper' and we ensure that the new loan home meets our high standards of 'Care for Life'. We also rehabilitate other breeds of horses.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
