Elisabeth Svendsen Trust

The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST) is a UK based charity dedicated to providing riding therapy with donkeys to children with special needs and disabilities.

The aims of EST are to bring enjoyment and pleasure into the children’s lives and to give them the satisfaction that comes with the achievement of learning riding skills.

At present we have five Centres across the UK, based in Sidmouth, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Ivybridge.

We are delighted to have acquired land near Belfast in Northern Ireland to build our sixth Centre. All we need now are the funds to make the Centre a reality!

By Buying a Brick you will help us to reach our target, so that we can build and equip our new Centre. We can then help children in Northern Ireland who have so far been unable to access our unique riding therapy.

If we are lucky enough to raise more funds than we need the surplus will be used to support our Centres throughout the UK.
