We're raising funds to transform the lives of vulnerable & disadvantaged children. They each face overbearing challenges that make everyday life a struggle. We’ll use horses to connect with them; to instil confidence, encourage positive mental health & wellbeing & help them onto a positive path.

    Situation

    There’s been a huge rise in demand for mental health services for children & young people across Milton Keynes & services are struggling to cope under the pressure. The pandemic has exacerbated the situation with more children than ever before suffering with depression, anxiety, & low confidence & self-esteem. Without the right support there’s a high risk that children will suffer long-term mental ill health which will negatively impact on their future happiness.

    Solution

    We’ll use our horses to connect with these vulnerable children. Our programme will offer them an alternative to more traditional interventions such as counselling that are over prescribed & often not as effective with children who are as disengaged as those we support. Our programme is unique & provides children with something positive to focus their attention & aid their recovery, without having to relive the traumatic experiences that led them to be referred to us in the first place.
