  • Corporate partnerships are an incredibly important aspect of our charity along with the relationships we develop through them. We consider it more a friendly relationship that benefits not only our charity but also the companies and employees we work with.

    We want to help you inspire and increase customer and staff engagement. This can be done through our awareness-raising campaigns, staff and customer fundraising as well as sponsorship.

    By choosing Clwyd Special Riding Centre as your charity fundraising partner, we will ensure that your business is making a social impact.

    We will also help to align your social strategies and business needs. We want to make the experience as meaningful for you and your employees as it is for us and the people who use our services.

    There are a number of ways that your business can support us. These include payroll giving, fundraising events, and making us your charity of the month or year.

    Visit our Corporate Sponsor page and get in touch to learn more about becoming a corporate partner.

  • Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It must be paid through PAYE from someone’s wages or pension.

    This is a most effective way of an employee making a one off or regular donation. Also known as Employee Giving, Workplace Giving or G.A.Y.E. Your employer deducts your donation from your pay and sends it, via a payroll giving agency, to CSRC. Your employer must be enrolled with such an agency.

    Simply make enquiries with your payroll department, tell us you have set up a regular donation and each month you can relax knowing you have again given to a needy cause.

  • We accept used stamps, clothing, currencies, jewellery and mobile phones/gadgets. All get recycled through third parties and all funds raised are fed back into the charity.

    We also accept good quality pre-loved, tack, rugs, stable equipment, riding gear, either for use at the Centre or for sale in our on-site shop or tack sales. Sadly, we are unable to accept used riding hats.

  • Legacies are a very personal way to leave a lasting gift that keeps on giving. They can be a thoughtful way of creating a permanent reminder of a donor’s connection with the Centre or simply for their love of horses.

    The trustees use legacies to provide long term improvements to the Centre, so you will have peace of mind knowing the funds you donate will be of lasting benefit.

    We understand that your Will is a very personal document and that there are many wishes to think about; but when you do decide to make a Will or add to your current Will with a Codicil, we would be very grateful if you would consider leaving a legacy to Clwyd Special Riding Centre.

    There are a number of alternative wordings required to be included in your Will, but the simplest way is to make a bequest of a specific sum, known as a pecuniary bequest. Your solicitor will be able to advise on the most appropriate wording.

    If you would like to talk about leaving a legacy, please get in touch and we would be happy to talk you through everything.
