Elisabeth Svendsen TrustBirmingham
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.
Donkey therapy helps Cerys' amazing progress
Posted 5th July 2010 by Suzi Cretney
When Cerys Edwards suffered a car crash at the age of one, doctors advised the family that she would never walk, talk or breathe on her own. Three years later, she is amazing doctors and family members by learning to stand and beginning to breathe without the assistance of a ventilator for short periods. Mum, Tracey, tells how visits to EST Birmingham have helped Cerys’ progress.
Following the serious car crash in 2006, Cerys tragically suffered multiple injuries, including complete paralysis and considerable brain damage. Now aged four, Cerys gets around in a wheelchair and is reliant on the support of a ventilator but visits the Birmingham centre of The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkey (EST) each week to take part in donkey riding therapy sessions.
