Care in the Community
We are a small, friendly, company providing the highest standard of care in the home in Penrith, Cumbria, and in our Day Centre in Penrith.
"Can I thank you most sincerely for the help you and all your staff have given us as [Anon]s care needs increased. Your caring and friendly support at a difficult time for both of us is much appreciated."
Equine Therapy
We are unerringly grateful to A.W. Jenkinson, the brilliant local forest product company who are supporting our Equine Therapy project with their premium quality bedding.
They really care about the effects a horse's environment can have on its health, and their fully organic bedding forms just part of their extensive FSC certified operation that ensures all parts of a tree are used and re-used, right down to fuelling biomass boilers.
Great supporters of multiple charities and with concern for the environment and the community, we could not be prouder to have them as a supporter to our modest project.
"There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." - Churchill

In a time when physical interaction is so limited, the steadiness of a horse has such a wonderfully grounding benefit to lift the spirits of those feeling isolated – both physically and mentally.
