A cheque for £1,000 has recently been presented to Rossington Hall Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) after our Doncaster office team arranged a series of fundraising events to raise money for the local charity. RDA benefits the lives of over 25,000 disabled children and adults all over the UK through horse therapy and fitness to help improve motor skills and muscular development through riding, grooming, carriage driving and more.
The money raised will be used to fund the purchase of some new riding hats which cost around £90 each. The events, including an afternoon tea, a cake sale, a quiz, and a picnic raised enough to purchase the hats which the RDA recommend should be replaced every 5 years.
Ann Jones, of RDA, said: “Being able to purchase new hats means that people can continue to visit us and enjoy a wealth of benefits to their physical, emotional, and mental health. The school is somewhere they come to meet friends, have fun, and enjoy riding.
“We cannot thank your team enough for supporting the work we do. We are overwhelmed that they have raised this money to support Rossington Hall RDA and it looks like the team had fun doing so.”
Trudy Lugg, an administrator in our Central Agency Support Team (CAST), said: “We thought the RDA was a perfect place for our donation as it is local to our office in Doncaster. The charity helps a wide variety of children and adults thrive through this type of therapy. We have several colleagues who ride themselves and own horses who understand how important this therapy is in supporting people living with disabilities.”
