Perry RDA is seeking donations

Perry RDA, based at the Cavalier Centre in Much Wenlock, are expecting "tough" months ahead, and asked people to spare what they can.

A statement said: "It has been a remarkable year. The number of riders, drivers, and vaulters who benefit from therapeutic time and activities with our ponies have increased tenfold, not to mention our amazing and ever-growing team of volunteers. We have ambitious plans for the future which will enable even more people with a wider range of disadvantages to benefit from the Cavalier Centre.

"Now we need your help to get through the coming months together.

More Covid-19 coverage:

"Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the centre is closed which has afforded the ponies a well-earned break. We have minimised costs wherever possible. However, the coming months will be tough and we will have to rely on our limited financial reserves.

"I have no doubt we will survive but without your support, we will not be able to carry out our plans for the future - or at least not for some time. As a charity, we want to be in a position where we can reopen and restart work for our communities as soon as possible. If you can donate to support us, please do."
