Pony-assisted therapy programme faces financial hurdles after winter damage

Bodster Community Interest Company (CIC) engages with individuals facing mental health challenges and helps boost their confidence through ground-based interaction with ponies.

This unique method of therapy has seen a growing number of referrals in recent times.

Challenges and charitable efforts
The organisation has faced setbacks due to severe damage to their facilities from the wet winter season.

The damage has affected the track they use for their therapy sessions. To address these challenges, they need financial support to repair the track and construct a new field shelter.

A call to action
Jo Boddington, a key figure at Bodster CIC, has committed to walking the 106km Ultra Challenge this weekend to raise the necessary funds.

This effort highlights the community’s dedication to supporting mental health and well-being through innovative therapies.

How you can help
Those interested in supporting Bodster CIC’s mission can contribute by donating to their fund.

Your support will directly assist in the repairs and expansion needed to continue providing these essential services.
