Charity welcomes DLP refit

Riding for the Disabled to receive new kit

An Island charity has a 'trot' to smile about after help from an assisted living firm.

Riding for the Disabled, which has been providing horse riding lessons for the handicapped community for over forty years, recently teamed up with Snugborough-based DLP Limited.

DLP employs over 80 staff, and oversees the production of specially-adapted bathroom and kitchen facilities to a portfolio of customers worldwide.

Now work is underway to manufacture new facilities at the Guilcagh Farm in Andreas - which the company hopes will be completed in time for the new school term in September.

Riding for the Disabled also extolled the virtues of social media, which it said was instrumental in forging the link between charity and business in this case.
