Barguse Open Day
25th April
Our Open Day in April gave our charity, the Barguse Charitable Trust a great kick start where we raised more than £200. We met up with both old and new faces and gave people the chance to have a go at horse riding. In the next few months we are planning more fundraising events and the pony rides were so popular that we are likely to run that again during the summer holidays. We currently have lots of merchandise to purchase in aid of the charity which can be found in the office and eventually on line including a lovely gilt lapel badge. If anyone would like to purchase any item, please pop in and check out the range.
Your support and donations are vital in helping us to get on with the practical side of the charity so any donation regardless of how small would be greatly appreciated..
