JOIN US FOR THE 2.6 CHALLENGE ON 26 APRIL AND RAISE FUNDS FOR THE CENTRE!
We’ve joined the London Marathon 2.6 Challenge to raise funds for the Unicorn Centre. Funding is vital as we face our own urgent challenge to raise at least £8000 per month to pay for the upkeep of our 19 horses, staff wages and utility bills. If we can raise this, we’ll be in the best position to provide our much-needed riding, training and therapy services when we can safely re-open. Thank you.
DISABLED RIDING CENTRE TOUCHES HEARTS OF LOCALS
The Riding for the Disabled Association’s Unicorn Centre at Hemlington, Middlesbrough is one of the local charities in the Tees Valley struggling to survive during the Coronavirus epidemic.
With 19 horses and ponies delivering riding and therapy to about 200 participants each week, assisted by 16 staff and 100 volunteers, it relies entirely on income from activities and fundraising to raise £300,000 each year to cover its costs.
All this has come to an abrupt stop. No lessons, no competitions, no events. No income from this at all.
RIP FRED 1st APRIL 2020
Sadly we lost horse Fred yesterday after a short period of illness.
NATIONAL UNICORN DAY PARTY - POSTPONED UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR
We will be holding our second National Unicorn Day party on Thursday 9 April.
Visitors are invited to come along to look around the Centre, meet lots of Unicorns, and take part in Unicorn-themed activities and fundraising events. Children will be able to ride a “Unicorn” pony in a magical Unicorn decorated arena, and there will be free crafts, Unicorn activities, raffle, tombolas, unicorn merchandise on sale and lots of unicorn cakes and refreshments on offer.
