11 families enjoyed a day at Mane Chance Sanctuary on Sunday 13th May as part of the Children’s Recreation programme at Sight for Surrey.
Mane Chance Sanctuary is committed to rescuing and rehabilitating abused, abandoned and old horses, integrating them with the local community. They regularly host visits from terminally ill children, those with additional needs and other disadvantaged youngsters achieving their aim of helping horses help people. You can find out more about the sanctuary here.
Several vision impaired children and their families had great fun having a go at various activities that included: grooming the Shetland ponies; poo-picking(!); pond-dipping; making a Sight for Surrey Bug Hotel; painting fairy doors; and walking the ponies. They were very lucky with the weather and everyone had a great time. Sight for Surrey wishes to thank Di and the ladies at Mane Chance for helping make this event possible.
At Sight for Surrey, events like these would be impossible to organise without the generous financial gifts from various trust funds, individual donors and fundraising activities. If you’d like to be part of the difference we make to vision impaired young people and their carers, you can give here: bit.ly/GiveSight4Surrey
