Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre gets a helping hand from The Screwfix Foundation

Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre, based in South Derbyshire, is celebrating after being awarded £5000 worth of funding from The Screwfix Foundation, a charity which supports projects to fix, repair, maintain and improve properties and facilities for those in need.

Glynis Dally, Trustee from Scropton RDA comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much-needed funds to support the work we do helping the health and well-being of local disabled adults and children through activities with horses. The funding will be used towards replacing a number of aged doors and windows at the centre to help improve security and insulation. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”

Steve Dunston, Screwfix Foundation Trustee said: “Supporting charities such as Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre with much-needed funding to help fix, repair, maintain and improve their facilities is vital. It’s great to see this donation go toward such an important project that benefits those in need.”

The Screwfix Foundation, which launched in April 2013 donates much needed funding to help a variety of local projects throughout the UK, from repairing buildings and improving community facilities, to improving the homes of people living with sickness or disability.
