Chigwell Riding Trust For Special Needs

An organization such as this is wholly dependant on the good will of the community. Without it Chigwell Riding Trust would not be here.

To offer the wonderful facilities and high standard of riding that we do involves a tremendous expense. Chigwell Riding Trust receives no state aid whatsoever and all funds have to be raised by ourselves. We do not employ any professional paid fundraisers, staff numbers are kept to an absolute minimum and voluntary help is used wherever possible.

Can you please help us?

We have a secure online donation scheme through Justgiving. If you are a UK taxpayer (however reluctant) we can reclaim the tax paid through the Gift Aid scheme. Please click below to make a donation and help us to continue. Thank you.

Well done to Aiden who raised a phenomenal amount in our annual "Amble Ramble" sposored event in June 2010.

If you would like to fundraise for us or if you are taking part in a sponsored event, big or small then an online fundraising page can make a huge difference. The button below will take you to the Justgiving site where you can see examples and ideas.

The picture to the right shows one of our riders, Annabelle, who undertook a sponsored three mile walk to raise funds to pay for Roger's (one of our ponies) veterinary treatment. Annabelle has cerebal palsy which affects her legs and to walk that distance must have taken incredible determination.

Annabelle raised a phenomenal £502. This was enough to bring our Roger campaign to a close.

You may prefer to help Chigwell Riding Trust with a regular donation by standing order. Many of our supporters help in this way. The standing order form should be downloaded, printed, completed and posted to Chigwell Riding Trust. This can of course be altered or stopped by yourself at any time.

From its pioneering foundation in 1958, its establishment in Chigwell in 1964 through to the present day, Chigwell Riding Trust has enriched the lives of thousands of people with special needs.

Legacies have enabled the Trust to build on those early foundations so that today, over fifty years later, Chigwell Riding Trust is the centre of excellence that it now is.

Many of you reading this would like to make a substantial donation that would make a real difference but are unable to do so because of other commitments. Including a legacy in your Will enables you to make that donation and fulfill other commitments.

Your legacy can enable us to go forward into the next fifty years knowing that the contribution that Chigwell Riding Trust makes to the community will continue.

If you have already remembered Chigwell Riding Trust in your Will please accept our warmest thanks and appreciation.

Thank you.
