Fundraising Ideas

Thornton Rose is self funded and we rely on our own fund-raising efforts and the amazing generosity Trusts and the local community. It takes a lot of money just to keep things running our costs are £27.000 pounds a year!
We have no paid staff everyone at the group contributes their time on a voluntary basis.

The main examples of our annual running costs are:
.

• £12.500 Livery costs.
• £2.500 Feed costs.
• £4.000 Farrier costs (horse shoeing)
• £1.700 Insurance costs

Subscription costs at present are £7.00 per week. Monies from the subscriptions helps to maintain the running costs and use of the livery yards facilities. Riding sessions are free.


This shows just how critically important it is to get behind all of our fund-raising events!
We are always on the look out for new and exciting idea's to raise the funds we need.
