Carriage Driving For Disabled Adults In Dorset

Monday, April 21, 2014

Gift from our local ASDA

Val, from ASDA presented us with a cheque for £25

East Holton Driving Centre is a self-funding charity; we are all volunteers and we have no paid staff.

Fund-raising is a very important part of running a small, self funding charity like the EHDC, especially when we have the cost of maintaining 3 horses and their equipment.
Most of our volunteers are best suited to handling the horses, enjoying the outdoors and the social aspect, so we are very fortunate to have a supporter like Jo, who was instrumental in accessing the tokens contribution in the ASDA store in Canford Heath. The EHDC was one of three chosen charities that were featured for the months of February and March this year.
Val from ASDA came to the stables recently to present us with their cheque. It was a pleasure for us to take her out on a carriage drive to see round part of the 350 acres Holton Lee estate that we are so very fortunate to be able to use without using public highways.
Our thanks go out to generous shoppers in Asda who supported us with their tokens and for Asda stores for converting them to money for us.
