Pegasus RDA receive no external funding, so we are 100% reliant on grants, donations and fundraising to allow us to continue to provide our life-enhancing activities.
Our biggest outgoings are the upkeep costs of our ponies, Ruby and Tyson, which are around £16,500 a year - we have a dedicated pony upkeep donation page for Ruby and Tyson (Pegasus RDA Pony Upkeep Donation Page). We also hire horses to use in our sessions, these horse hire costs are around £5,000 a year (currently covered by a Children in Need grant).
In addition to the above, we need to fund our core operating costs, amounting to an additional £2,000 each year. These outgoings include:
- Insurance and membership fees
- Specialised lesson equipment and adapted tack
- Website and phone charges
- IT and stationery equipment
- Volunteer DBS checks and training
- Hand sanitiser and cleaning supplies
Our little charity is run completely on a voluntary basis - we have no paid staff and 100% of money donated to us is used to fund the essential items above. Without the amazing generosity of our supporters, we simply could not do what we do - Thank You!
