Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2026

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered.

    Other accounting policies

    Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Income Tax The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Financial Instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Company Limited by Guarantee The company is limited by guarantee. At 31 March 2026 there were 10 members each of whom had undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 in the event of a winding up.

Company activities and impact

Equine Assisted Services Partnership CIC is the membership body for the Equine Assisted Services (EAS) sector. The Equine Assisted Services Partnership’s objects are To ensure service providers and training organisations adherence to minimum standards in the equine assisted services sector for the benefit of service users. To advance education of the public regarding the benefits of equine assisted ser-vices to physical and mental health and maintain an accessible register of organisations who have met the above standards To promote and lead collaboration and learning in the furtherance of developing best practice and evidence-based research for the benefit of future service users (the public) Activities 1. Maintain a Register of practitioner and training providers of Equine Assisted Services The purpose of the organisation is to lead and facilitate better co-ordination and collaboration between organisations and individuals practising equine assisted services in the UK. This ensures high quality service provision, creates a greater awareness of the benefits of equine assisted services to the general public and promotes high standards of equine welfare. This is enabled through the provision and maintenance of a publicly accessible register of training organisations and practitioners. The Register is an established resource for service users (the public) to make informed choices about service providers. Commissioners, funders, practitioners and anyone wishing to find out more about equine assisted or facilitated programmes in the UK also find it useful. The ‘members’ of EASP are individuals and organisations who provide equine assisted or facilitated therapies including physical and Allied Health Care therapies; psychotherapy; education; learning; coaching and wellbeing activities who have demonstrated that they have met 5 standards and have both human and equine welfare at the heart of what they do. We have introduced an Associate membership for our wider stakeholder who have an interest in EAS as funders, researchers or the equestrian sector. There are 75 practitioners listed on the register who have met 5 standards of practice. Equine Assisted Services Partnership: Ensuring Quality & SafetyEquine Assisted Services Partnership CiC During 2025/26 we have raised the profile of EAS as a ‘mainstream’ activity in the equestrian sector and spoken at overarching body events such as The British Horse Council and Breeds Society. We have spoken at National conferences such as the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Equine Activities and Horses in Education and Therapy International. EASP is also in dialogue with its social media followers, over 1400 on Facebook and with other online networks such as the Equine Assisted Facilitators and Practitioners Network. Members of EASP are able to access a series of online statutory and mandatory training modules at a Partnership rate to ensure that standards are maintained and upheld. Activities 2. Enable collaboration across the EAS sector The organisation is a collaborative body of experts in the field of equine assisted services who work collectively to benefit service users and beneficiaries and advance best practice across the UK. The Partnership brings together all people involved in the field of Equine Assisted Services to ensure high quality service provision and create a greater awareness of their work. The organisation also promotes evidence-based research and dissemination of knowledge to help spread good practice. This is carried out through awareness raising communication, deliberative events and the maintenance of a register of practitioners and training organisations. We have entered into strategic partnerships with BHS, RDA, ABRS+, EAQ and ACPEA and their members receive discounted EASP membership rates. Our EAS Approved members may now purchase and display HEIR Approved Provider premises plaques. On behalf of the membership we have been writing to health and local authority commissioners to raise the profile and purpose of the HEIR Approved kitemark

Consultation with stakeholders

The AGM in April 2025 included a deliberative session with 83 representatives from across the sector to understand the needs of the sector and how EASP could support it. This informed the commitments made to the membership which aligned with the 2024/27 Strategy which was developed for the sector, with the sector. A series of monthly HEIR Time Talks have been held as online events for the membership to develop their skills and share best practice. These have been CPD eligible for the membership and the conversations held during the webinars helped to inform future activity such as the topics of the April 2026 Symposium. We have established 4 Standards with reference groups comprised of professional body representatives and ‘expert’ practitioners. The Standards were presented at and agreed by attendees at the April 2026 Symposium.
