New Hoist Opens Up Riding to Individuals with Complex Mobility Needs
The Axis Foundation has awarded up to £10,815 to East Liverpool Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) to fund a new rider hoist system.
“Thank you so much for this fantastic news. We are delighted to be able to extend our reach and support even more people in our community” — Natalie Burns, Chair and Founder
The investment will unlock 10 additional hours of sessions per week, supporting up to 19 more participants weekly. It will remove barriers for individuals with complex mobility needs, enabling greater independence and participation.
Equine therapy improves physical health, confidence, emotional resilience, and social connection. The hoist also strengthens safeguarding and reduces manual handling risks for staff and volunteers.
