Introducing our first
charity partner: Rockinghorse
We
couldn’t be more proud to welcome our new charity partner: Rockinghorse, one of
Sussex’s most loved and inspiring children’s charities.
Every
day of the year, this fantastic charity works tirelessly to improve the lives of
sick children all over Sussex and 2017 just happens to be the year of their
Golden Jubilee.
As
one of our charity partners, Rockinghorse will dispatch an army of 40 walkers
to join us
on
the 13th May, taking on the various routes and walking along the stunning South
Downs whilst raising money for this amazing charity. By these supporters taking
part in the Just Walk challenge it means Rockinghorse can continue to
collectively ensure children’s services across Sussex are the best they
possibly can be, now and in the future.
Rockinghorse
is in no shortage of ambitious plans for their 50th year and with fundraising
money raised, intend to allocate 10 centres and services in Sussex, each with
£50,000 to help them improve, refurbish, and develop their environment for
young people benefitting from their work.
Rockinghorse
aim to provide a total £500,000 worth of funding to the following centres and
organisations:
·
The
Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital
·
The
Trevor Mann Baby Unit at the Sussex County
·
