FUNDRAISING
HOBBY
THE
HORSE
Our fundraising events throughout the year included a
Quiz at the Marshall Amplification Studio, Golf Day at
Woburn Golf Club, and of course our famous Ride High
Ball with a Roaring Twenties theme started the year in
true style. We9re grateful to everyone who supported
these events and also to those who took on their own
challenges and organised events to raise vital funds for
Ride High.
In May we once again enjoyed watching our runners
participate in the Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend - a
fantastic community event.
Participation in the Big Give match funding campaigns
gave our donors the opportunity to have their donations
doubled for free.
We were also delighted to launch our new fundraising
programme 8Hobby the Horse9 .
Hobby the Horse is a fun and educational programme
where school children design and make their own
Hobby Horse using recycled materials and hold an
event to fundraise for Ride High. We've created
fantastic resources for teachers to make the programme
fun and easy to implement and it also complements the
Key Stage 1 Curriculum. Several schools across Milton
Keynes participated in the launch in 2023 and the
feedback has been excellent. Our aim is to expand the
programme in 2024.
