A DISABLED charity has received £400 to support its classes for students of a city school.

Malvern Hills Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) in Worcestershire has received £400 from Taylor Wimpey Midlands to help the group continue to provide classes to its students.

The sponsorship from Taylor Wimpey Midlands will help to fund some of the running costs and sessions provided to the students of Regency High School during term time.

The charity's horses benefit the lives of over 25,000 disabled children and adults nationally.

The charity runs fun and activities that are designed to be life-changing including like riding and carriage driving, providing therapy, fitness, skills development and opportunities for achievement – all supported by 18,000 volunteers and qualified coaches at nearly 500 RDA centres all over the UK, including the county one.

Children with physical and learning disabilities and autism benefit, and there are no age restrictions.

Barbara Williams, fundraising Officer at Malvern Hills RDA, said: “We are very grateful.

"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.”

The donation to Malvern Hills RDA is one of many ways in which Taylor Wimpey is supporting the local communities.
