## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 28 February 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

  Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows: Reducing balance 25% - Office Equipment, Plant and Machinery Straight line 10 years - Land and buildings

Company activities and impact

Pony Partnerships CIC provides equine-facilitated therapies, equine enrichment, and nature-based learning activities to support children, young people, and their families. During the 2025–2026 financial year, the company’s activities benefited the community in the following ways: 1) We provided one-to-one equine enrichment to thirty-five young people who were unable to access mainstream education due to special educational needs, mental health difficulties, trauma, anxiety, or other barriers to learning. This provision enabled young people to engage in meaningful learning in a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment. Each participant completed a range of ASDAN Lifeskills Challenges. 2) We delivered education provision under EOTAS, (Education Otherwise Than At School), for five young people who were not currently engaging in formal education. The sessions were tailored to individual needs and focused on emotional wellbeing, confidence, communication, practical life skills, and re-engagement with learning. 3) We contributed to the completion and review processes for ten Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP), helping to advocate for suitable therapeutic and educational provision that met the needs of children and young people. This included acting as an expert witness in three EHCP tribunals, helping to advocate for suitable therapeutic and educational provision that met the needs of children and young people. 4) We accepted referrals from NHS mental health teams and social care services, working collaboratively as part of multi-disciplinary teams to support holistic care planning for children, young people, and families. 5) We offered private equine-facilitated psychotherapy and equine-facilitated learning sessions for children, young people, adults, and families. Income from private clients helped to fund and sustain the community interest arm of the organisation, enabling Pony Partnerships CIC to continue offering subsidised and part-funded provision to those who may otherwise be unable to access support. 6) Through National Lottery funding, we provided part-funded and subsidised therapeutic sessions for fifteen people using a green bottle model. This model helped to increase accessibility by enabling those with greater financial means to contribute more, while reducing the financial barrier for families and individuals with lower incomes or more complex needs. 7)We partnered with Treetops Hospice to deliver three equine wellbeing sessions to forty bereaved young people as part of the Mollitiam Project. These sessions provided a safe and supportive space for young people to explore confidence, connection, emotional expression, and peer support following bereavement. 8) We recruited new staff members with lived experience of inequality, special educational needs, and/or mental health challenges. This strengthened our inclusive ethos and helped ensure that our services continue to be informed by compassion, understanding, and lived experience. 9) We raised awareness of equine-facilitated therapy and nature-based therapeutic learning through public engagement, professional networking, partnership working, and collaborative training opportunities. Through these activities, Pony Partnerships CIC has continued to provide community benefit by supporting children, young people, adults, and families to improve emotional wellbeing, develop confidence and life skills, access therapeutic support, and engage with education in ways that are appropriate to their individual needs. The income generated through private provision, alongside grants and partnership funding, has helped to sustain the organisation’s wider community benefit activities and improve access for those facing financial, educational, social, or emotional barriers.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include children, young people, their parents and carers, families, staff, volunteers, education professionals, healthcare professionals, social care professionals, local authority commissioners, schools, alternative provision commissioners, partner organisations, funders, and the wider local community. Stakeholders have been consulted in a range of ways, including initial referral and intake questionnaires, conversations with children, young people and families, session-by-session feedback, review meetings, liaison with schools and commissioning organisations, multi-agency discussions, and informal feedback from partner agencies. Feedback from stakeholders has helped the company to build a clearer profile of client needs and to adapt provision accordingly. In response to consultation, Pony Partnerships CIC has continued to develop bespoke individual and group programmes, make adjustments to the physical and emotional environment, tailor support plans to the needs of each young person, and work collaboratively with families, schools, local authorities, NHS services and social care teams. Stakeholder feedback has also informed fundraising priorities, staff development, and the recruitment of staff with relevant lived experience of mental ill health, inequality, special educational needs and/or disability. These consultation processes help ensure that the company’s services remain accessible, inclusive, responsive and focused on the needs of the community it serves.
