MANX LOTTERY TRUST AWARDS £2,500 GRANT TO RIDING FOR THE DISABLED FOR ESSENTIAL STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Manx Lottery Trust has announced a grant to Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man to assist with their storage needs.

Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man provides positive horse experiences for children and adults with additional needs. These experiences require a significant amount of specialised equipment, which has outgrown the current small storage facility at the stables. With an increasing number of participants and activities, including those aimed at enhancing inclusivity and offering virtual competitions, the need for adequate storage has become critical 

The new portable storage shed will allow Riding for the Disabled to securely store their equipment and better manage their resources. The flexibility of the portable shed also ensures the long-term sustainability for the organisations operations.

Kat Ions, Group Organiser for Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man, said: “We are incredibly thankful to Manx Lottery Trust for their support. This grant will significantly improve our ability to store and manage our equipment we use to support our participants. With the increased capacity, we can continue to provide enriching horse experiences and expand our activities to include everyone who benefits from our services.”

This funding is provided through Manx Lottery Trust’s Smaller Grants Programme which provides grants up to £2,500 to local community groups.

Stephen Turner, Chairman of Manx Lottery Trust, added: “We are pleased to support Riding for the Disabled Isle of Man with another grant. Their commitment to providing positive and inclusive experiences through horse riding is commendable. We hope this funding helps them overcome their storage challenges and continue their valuable work with greater efficiency.”
