The Work of the Diamond Riding Centre for the Disabled with Eve, Activity Leader

A little about The Diamond Centre for Disabled Riders from our Speaker - Eve.

https://www.diamondcentre.org.uk/

We are a registered charity in Carshalton, Surrey dedicated to transforming lives through the power of horses. For over 50 years, the centre has provided therapeutic riding and non-ridden activities for children and adults with physical disabilities and learning difficulties.

This is what we do:

• Therapeutic riding & activities range from riding, dressage and vaulting, to horse-assisted therapy. All sessions are tailored to each rider's needs.
• We welcome riders from as young as 3 to over 75.
• Holistic benefits include improving physical health, communication, confidence and independence.
• We run 63 sessions every week, led by trained instructors and supported by dedicated volunteers.
• Each week over 350 people living with a long-term condition or disability gain joy, achievement, and a sense of belonging by attending sessions.

The Diamond Centre receives no government or local authority funding and is sustained entirely by donations and fundraising.

For many people with a disability, these are activities they can participate in, offering them independence, pride, a sense of achievement and fun. See us here: https://www.diamondcentre.org.uk/
