A FANTASTIC time was had by all at the Conquest Centre Open day.

The event, held on June 22, was a huge success and consisted of fun for children and their families with such attractions as a fun dog show, bouncy castles, games, stalls and much more.

Staff and volunteers, friends and family generously provided their time and worked tremendously hard prior to the event. Within three hours a footfall of 600 visitors was reached and a fantastic £2,300 raised.

Rhoda Groody – Conquest Centre Community Fundraiser, said: “Our aim for the day was not only to raise vital funds for Conquest but to unveil our services to the wider community, this year we received £500 sponsorship from Larkfleet homes which gave us a head start.

“As a centre and local charity, we find many people are still unsure of how we can help. Fundamentally we provide horse related activities for people with disabilities and additional needs.

“However, we deliver these activities in an inclusive environment which welcomes our whole community, embraces the family and engages with nature. We also have many other independent services on site.

“For those who couldn’t make the Open Day or would like to know more – please look at our website.”
