STABLE LIVES 

Stable Lives provides support to military veterans, blue light workers, young people and their families who are dealing with the effects of exposure to mental trauma. We use land based activities and teach people how to interact with horses rehabilitated from physical and mental abuse to rebuild confidence, self esteem and self worth, this is done within respite days and courses.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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