TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Ebony Horse Club for the year 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective January 2015). 
 

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
 

Objectives and activities
 

a. Policies and objectives
 


In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
 

b. Objectives
 

Ebony Horse Club objectives are to provide children and young people living in Brixton with opportunities through access to horses and related activities. Their purpose is to improve wellbeing and future outcomes by teaching life skills through a structured mentoring programme.  In setting objectives, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit. 
 

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
 

Ebony Horse Club has been operating as a community riding centre in its current premises since 2011. There is stabling for nine horses, two turnout paddocks, a floodlit arena and classroom and office space sited in three converted railway arches. The centre is sited in the Coldharbour Ward of Brixton where children and young people face the challenge of growing up in an area of high inequality. It provides a place of calm positivity where children can feel safe and flourish in terms of their physical and mental wellbeing. The skills they develop and are able to take back to their lives at home and school include empathy, confidence, responsibility and respect. 
 
The staff team ensure that every young person is provided with resources to thrive. The equine staff work in tandem with the youth team, assisting members to achieve their individual goals. EHC continues its partnership with Building Young Brixton, a consortium of nine Lambeth based youth charities with an overall reach of 1200 local children and young people per year. This collaborative approach provides opportunities to identify and engage with those in the community most in need of support. The Brixton Riders programme is an example of this joint initiative. 

This year, the club has welcomed an average of 140 young people to the centre every week and taught over 400 individuals to ride and learn about horse care. Established relationships have continued with eight local schools including two primary schools, a state secondary, a Pupil Referral Unit and two schools working with young people with SEND.

Objectives and activities (continued)

d. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit
 

Summary of our activities from April 2019 to March 2020

Activities at the centre have developed alongside an enhanced evaluation system to monitor young people’s progress. In addition to the regular riding and stable management sessions, the club has been able to extend visits to relevant events and equine establishments and increase residential trips. These trips are made possible by a range of generous supporters who recognise the value to inner city children of experiencing new opportunities outside their own environment.

• In April 2020, 10 young people went on EHC’s first international trip to Sweden as part of an ERASMUS      unded exchange. 
• 12 members enjoyed our annual five-day pony trekking trip to the Brecon Beacons sponsored by the    Worshipful Company of Loriners.
• Eight members and all our horses stayed at Hurlands Farm in Surrey for our second summer residential    trip by kind invitation of Bob and Mia Lees. During the week, a further 30 children visited the farm for day   trips.
• Members were also invited to attend high profile equine events such as Badminton Horse Trials, The    Grand National, the Hickstead All England Showground and the Gold Cup at Windsor Polo Club
.
This year EHC has also been able to increase opportunities for young riders to develop ambitions by taking part in external competitions. 

• Eight riders had their first taste of competitive riding at the Hampshire Hunt Show and Civil Service Riding   Club show in Hyde Park. 
• Four members joined the Pony Racing programme, funded partly through the Pony Racing Authority and   The Racing Foundation in partnership with Park Lane Stables. One 14-year-old boy came home first in his  debut race at Ascot.
• Polo teams were formed to compete at an exhibition match at the Royal Windsor Cup working in     collaboration with Power of Polo and at Ham Polo Club during EHC’s annual fundraiser.
• 18-year-old, Khadijah Mellah was invited by the British Racing Authority to train and take part in the    Magnolia Cup at Goodwood Racecourse. Against all odds, she won. She was cheered over the finishing    line by a group of her fellow Brixton riders and the documentary about her journey, Riding a Dream,    produced by our patron, Oli Bell, was seen by over 1million people when it aired on ITV.
 

e. Media exposure and award
 

The club recognises the benefits of carefully managed media exposure, which attracts support from the public in a variety of forms. Requests from print, on line and broadcast outlets about the wider work of the club increased considerably and resulted in several feature articles in mainstream and equine press. The club’s work was also highlighted in two high profile BBC programmes
.
• BBC’s Inside Out investigative magazine programme featured an item about the club broadcast in March   2020.
• EHC were invited to train a Blue Peter presenter to take part in a challenge for Sports Relief. 
Our instructors taught her to ride and complete a show jumping course in just six weeks on one of our     horses.

EHC was nominated for two prestigious awards to celebrate the work they are doing with young people:
 
• The London Sports Awards.
• British Ethnic Diversity in Sport Awards.

Objectives and activities (continued)

f. Ebony Horse Club and beyond
 

As the club enters its ninth year of operating the Wyck Gardens centre, many success stories are emerging from young people whose time with the club has led to improved outcomes
.
• A 16-year-old supported to gain a place at Hartpury College after her GCSEs
• A former member graduating from Writtle University College with a degree in Business and Equine    studies.
• Two alumni continuing their work in prestigious racing venues in Newmarket.
• Other alumni flourishing in non-equine roles and studies as diverse as engineering, paramedic studies and  theatre.
COVID 19

In the final week of March 2020, Ebony Horse Club was forced to close their premises and send the horses out to grass due to the COVID 19 outbreak. Immediate plans were put in place to continue delivering a virtual service and to support families and young people during this global crisis as well as addressing funding issues to ensure the long-term stability of the club. 
 

 

 Financial summary
 

The Trustees of Ebony Horse Club are pleased to report that it has finished the year on a surplus of £79,909. This is approximately £30k less than the previous year (2019: £108,964). Overall, income earned from fundraising, events and riding income was down 2% compared with prior year (£494k), with an increase of 4% in total expenditure compared with prior year (£385k). The continued disciplined approach to managing the cost base, along with successful fundraising through trusts and foundations as well as private individuals, has allowed the club to invest surplus funds in areas that further its objectives. Key investments during the year include purchase of laptops for staff so they can work more efficiently, resurfacing of the woodchip paddock and an increase in activities and support for the young people. The club has closed the year with a net asset position (£1,075k) that is 8% higher than prior year (£995k).
 

Financial review
 

a. Going concern
 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
 

b. Reserves policy
 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level of between 3 and 6 months expenditure.
 

Structure, governance and management
 

a. Constitution
 

Ebony Horse Club is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
 

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
 

c. Financial risk management
 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
 

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.


The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

2.
the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4.
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].



I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.


This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020

1.


General information

Ebony Horse Club is a private company limited by guarantee domiciled in England and Wales.The registered office is at 51 Millbrook Road London SW9 7JD.


2.Accounting policies

  
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Ebony Horse Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

  
2.2

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

  
2.3

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

2.3

Expenditure (continued)

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

  
2.4

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

  
2.5

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

 
2.6

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Short-term leasehold property
-
Over the period of the lease
Horses
-
33% straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
25% straight line
Computer equipment
-
25% straight line

  
2.7

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.  Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

  
2.8

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.9

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

  
2.10

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  
2.11

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

  
2.12

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
