In August of 2009, we launched our ‘Friends of Festina Lente’ with a wonderful Victorian Garden Picnic.  With over 500 guests – many of whom dressed up in Victorian clothes, it was a wonderful evening – and remarkably – it didn’t rain!.  This important fundraiser is the start of our efforts to ensure that our Equine Assisted Learning Service will continue into 2010.  This service supports over 200 children each year and was piloted with AIB funding during 2009 and 2010.

We need to fundraise over €100,000 each year in order to keep this service going.  So far, we have reached one third of our target. You can support this very worthwhile service for €10.00 per month.  Please contact us directly or if you prefer, you can download a form from our website.  Thank you
