EST Birmingham is situated in Sutton Coldfield in the heart of Sutton Park's peaceful woodland. It was opened on Monday 12th September 1994, made possible by the wonderful generosity of The Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust and Birmingham City Council, and a large donation from Sutton Coldfield Municipal Charities.

Between 130 and 150 children with special needs and disabilities from 20 local schools in the city and surrounding areas benefit from donkey riding therapy at this centre each week.
