AN organisation that helps disabled people learn to ride and work with horses has received a boost from a national developer.

Malvern Hills Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) has received £400 from Taylor Wimpey to go towards running costs and sessions provided for students at Regency High School during term time.

Barbara Williams, fundraising officer for Malvern Hills RDA, said: “We are very grateful to Taylor Wimpey Midlands for their donation to the riding group. Malvern Hills RDA is a self-funded group and so we have to rely on sponsorships such as this and fundraising events we hold.

“The focus of our work is to ensure that each individual has the opportunity to experience a therapeutic benefit and learn new skills, develop self-confidence and generally add a new element to their life and we thank Taylor Wimpey Midlands for helping us to provide this”

Anne Wallace, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Midlands said: “It is a privilege to be able to give back to the community and it means a great deal to us that we can contribute to the services Malvern Hills RDA provides.

“We look forward to seeing and hearing about the students enjoying their riding classes.”
