Silent Auction in aid of Raise the Roof Campaign
Why we are raising funds
The roof of the Indoor School at The Pembroke Centre, home of Wilton RDA is essential to maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where our participants who have a wide range of additional needs, including physical and learning disabilities, autism, and dementia can continue to benefit from the life-changing opportunities that therapeutic riding provides. The Indoor School allows sessions all year-round in a calm, sheltered, and accessible setting that is fundamental to their wellbeing, confidence, and independence.
After more than 30 years of use it is no time for the roof to be replaced to ensure we can continue to offer equine therapy to those who need it the most.
Please support us by bidding for one of the items in our Silent Auction, attending our Barn Dance or making a donation.
Thank you for your support.
