Elisabeth Svendsen TrustSidmouth
Situated within the grounds of our sister charity, The Donkey Sanctuary, EST Sidmouth was opened on Saturday 5th December 1978 by the Marquess of Bath. It was a memorable day as this was the first EST centre ever to be built, bringing a new concept to local planning offices and costing over £70,000 at the time.
Over 150 children with special needs and disabilities from 30 local schools in the surrounding areas benefit from donkey-riding therapy at this centre each week.

Wow, what a week... time seems to be flying by so quickly that April will be here before I know it!
Well where do I start? This past week really has been amazing. I've managed my longest run to date and the support I have received from people so far has been overwhelming. So far I have raised a massive £359 for EST and the sponsorship keeps trickling in, which is fantastic. Everyone has been so kind and generous; I can't thank you all enough.

Jennie has been working as a centre co-ordinator at the Sidmouth EST centre for over two years and in that time has witnessed thousands of children receiving the benefits of riding therapy. Although Jennie is a keen runner, this will be her first marathon and she has been training hard for the event, knowing how many children will benefit from the funds that she raises.
