"I was delighted to visit the outstanding New Route- Introduction to Horse Care in Holcot, Northamptonshire. The project helps disadvantaged young people with complex needs, teaching them all elements of horse care and providing horse riding sessions. This greatly helps to improve their mental and physical wellbeing and I am delighted to learn that it has an excellent success rate in supporting these young people back to school. It is wonderful that the Big Lottery Fund is supporting this project by £10,000 to December this year."
