How much does it cost our Centre each year to keep running?

It costs Penniwells around £90,000 each year to keep running?

We rely entirely on fundraising and donations. 

We apply regularly for grants and trust funds but none of these are gaurenteed.

Trust funds and grants will not give money to pay general running costs like electicity, water and oil.

Our riders do pay a fee for their sessions but this barely covers the cost of our much needed staff salaries each year.

Our shoeing costs alone come to approx £1000 every 6 weeks!

With unknown vets fees, maintenance and upkeep of ponies (Feed, Hay & Bedding) we are constantly looking for new ways to make ends meet each and every year.

By making a donation to Penniwells you can make a direct contribution to our daily running expenses and the upkeep of our facilities. We can also benefit from reclaiming tax on all donations you give us if you are a UK income tax payer.

We also need volunteers who would like to help with the fund raising side - maybe you don't want to help with ponies or riders but could be of benefit in this area. If so, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
