About this cause

Lapworth Group of the Riding for the Disabled Association provides horse riding and therapy for local children who have social, emotional and mental health difficulties. The children learn to ride and get the opportunity to interact positively with others in an unfamiliar environment. They not only benefit in improvement to their physical well-being but also develop their confidence in being more able to deal with new and to them challenging situations.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The children that we are reaching attend a Birmingham Local Authority special school situated in Knowle. The children come from various parts of the West Midlands. The riding that they do benefits their confidence as well as their physical and emotional well being.
