SOUTH WEST EQUINE PROTECTION (SWEP)
SWEP is a Charity formed entirely by volunteers. Our purpose is to help equines in our region who are abandoned or suffering from neglect and cruelty, whether caused by heartlessness or ignorance. Our work involves not only the rescue and re-homing of those horses and ponies whose plight is desperate, or who have been the victims of road traffic accidents, but also promoting their welfare by offering advice and information.
To enable us to continue our work we rely on support and assistance from like minded people, this can be anything from volunteers to rehome our rescued ponies, helping at our rescue yard and at fundraising events to financial donations, however, large or small. We hold a variety of events throughout the year to advertise our cause, raise our profile and of course generate much need funds.
Further details can be found on the SWEP website at www.swep.org.uk

INFORMATION FROM THE ELISABETH SVENDSEN TRUST:
The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys provides donkey-riding therapy to children with special educational needs and disabilities at purpose built Centres located in Sidmouth, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Ivybridge.
The children who attend the Centres have a wide range of disabilities; some have learning difficulties, others are physically disadvantaged or have behavioural problems, brain damage or sensory impairment.
We aim to bring enjoyment and pleasure into their lives and our work helps with their co-ordination and overall development, as well as giving them the satisfaction that comes with the achievement of learning riding skills.
During term time each Centre is fully committed to its schools timetable programme, which operates over a four-week period, offering a combination of sessions to individual schools and classes. Each Centre works with up to 150 children per week and has an average of 26 schools and groups who visit regularly. Session times can vary greatly from either full or half days to even hourly. A session length is determined by the needs of the children and the size of the class.
Holiday Club
Better known as a "drop-in," Holiday Club operates on certain days during school holidays. Children with special needs come to the Centres with their families to ride the donkeys; siblings also have the opportunity to ride at this time.
Everyone is welcome to stay at the Centre for as long as they wish, making full use of the play area facilities and at the same time getting to know other
families. Many often bring a packed lunch which can make it a full day out for all the family.
Saturday Club
These are held once a month and are run on exactly the same basis as the Holiday Club.
