BRIDGEND COUNTY GROUP RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION INCORPORATING CARRIAGE DRIVING 

We are an independent charity based at the Equine Centre at Pencoed College. Our principal aim is to provide horse riding and horse related activities to children and adults in our local community who have physical and learning disabilities. All our riding sessions are held indoors under the supervision of highly trained RDA Coaches who are supported by a team of trained volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

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
