Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The emotional and physical benefits of companion animals are now being established in psychiatric hospitals and elderly care units and there is well-researched evidence that spending time with animals can have a direct calming influence. CAUSE's Young Carers Equine Programme will offer young carers a unique opportunity to improve their own mental well-being by working with the natural behaviour of horses alongside a specifically designed therapeutic programme. Taking place outdoors it will provide young carers with the chance to experience a rural environment and reconnect with a more natural way of life. For those young carers who have been subjected to long periods within mental health caring or experienced severe family difficulties or deprivation, this is a very rewarding and stimulating therapeutic intervention.
