MFS Investment Management (UK) have donated a most generous £5,000 to our funds to enable us to continue to help the many children who ride with us each year. We are very grateful to them for their support.
We are very lucky to have the support of local events who make donations to us. We received a welcome donation of £500 from the Edenbridge and Oxted Show 2024. The 2025 Harness Show donated £200 after our volunteers helped with the car parking.
We are delighted to have been chosen by the Dormansland Horse and Dog Show to be one of their charities for 2025. Their show takes place at East Bysshe Showground, Eastbourne Rd, Newchapel, Lingfield RH7 6LF, on Sunday 31st August, 2025. For further details: Home | Dormansland Horse & Dog Show.
The Sussex Wanderers MG Car Club have been generous supporters for many years. They hold 10 outings a year, driving around the Sussex countryside in their MGs, ending up at a pub for lunch. At each event they pass the pint beer mug to collect cash for us and in 2024 they excelled themselves, raising £2,100 in cash and a direct donation of £50. When Gift Aid is added this makes a total donation of £2,687.50 which is a fantastic amount and will help us to continue our work with disabled children.
Ursula Griffiths, who organises the events, and two of the MG owners came on 27th February to watch the children from St Stephen’s School in action, and to present our Chairman, James Baxter, with the cheque.
We thank all the members of the Car Club for their continued generous support.
We are delighted to announce that we have received a grant from the Dora Fedoruk Memorial Fund, facilitated by the Community Foundation for Surrey, to pay for one of our sessions for St Stephen’s School, South Godstone for the whole of 2025. This generous grant of £2,800 will ensure that one of the school’s group of six children will be able to continue riding for the coming year. The children are some of our best riders, and compete each year at the Regional and National Championships, with great success.
Huge thanks to the trustees of the Dora Fedoruk Memorial Fund and to the Community Foundation for Surrey from all at East Park RDA and the riders, parents and staff from St Stephen’s School.
