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.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

7 trustees run the charity.
