A wonderful donation of £3000 has been donated by Connie Kang in memory of her dear father who passed earlier this year.


A keen horseman Connie pays tribute to her late father:


" My father was a very kind person, kept himself low key, always willing to help young people pursue their dreams, supporting and participating in all kinds of seminars and team events. My inspiration and mentor...."


Very fitting we feel that his memory will help support our young riders.


Thank you to Connie and her family

With our organisation’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with the challenge of finding new and exciting fundraising events to help to continue with funding new projects every year. We are always open to ideas and suggestions, every penny counts towards the children.

People often ask how they can help and how they can help us to raise funds so we can provide you with some ideas as to how you can support the charity enabling us to keep funding these disadvantaged children.

Become a FRIEND OF THE FOUNDATION
-  Make a regular direct debit payment to us throughout the year

- Sponsor a CHILD TO RIDE

- Sponsor one of our fundraising events – contact us for further information about how you can support us and receive publicity for your
business at the same time.

- Follow us on Facebook and our website so you can keep up to date on what we are doing and how to become involved in fundraising events

- Hold a Garden Party. A barbecue or dinner for your friends, charge an entry fee. hold an auction, or a raffle and donate funds to the EFF.

- Donate prizes for our raffles and auctions – we are always looking for
prizes!

- Make the EFF YOUR CHOSEN CHARITY if you are running an event or perhaps your company would be interested in becoming a supporter/sponsor

- Run for the EFF – there are many running events across the UK through the year – if you have a place perhaps you could raise money for the Foundation at the same time

- Organise a sponsored event – a sponsored ride, a sponsored silence, or maybe a walk, it doesn’t have to be a big event. If it makes £500, we can claim GIFT AID which bumps up the amount to £625! Enough to fund one of our projects for a whole term!

Fundraising support

All Schools and Youth Projects can approach the EFF for funding.

We offer courses of lessons to youngsters for whom riding may not otherwise be within reach. These courses teach more than just riding; they develop life skills such as self-confidence, responsibility and discipline – and can have a positive impact on academic performance too.

Schools can send groups of 10 or 12 children each week during term-time, for a course of lessons at selected BHS approved riding establishments. These courses cover the care of the animals, as well as riding instruction and an introduction to the variety of competitive sports involving horses. Up to 20 children ride each week with the school changing groups throughout the term. The EFF does not want any child to have to stop riding once they have started so some of the projects now have 2 groups riding each week!

The children experience the fun and freedom of horse riding, and gain a real sense of achievement having mastered the challenge of learning to ride or care for the ponies they meet.

You can apply for funding here:
