I have been involved as a Trustee of the Chigwell Centre since the early 1980's and so it is a charity that is very close to my heart.

The improvement that riding brings to people with Special Needs, both physical and mental, is remarkable.

The majority who benefit from the Centre's work are children, but it costs over £20,000 a month to run.

It receives no Government Aid and relies upon donations and fundraising to keep going.

Please be as generous as you can to keep their work going.

P.S. The Centre is not providing a pony to get me up the mountain!
