Equine SOS - Miracle workers need a Miracle

[helenalysia]

The following is an emergency appeal on behalf of miracle workers Q, Jack, Twinkle, Petal, Misty, Glen, Apollo and Amber – Horses who now urgently need your help.

In September 2007 Helen Wingstedt’s, ‘Wholly Horses’ moved into a small rented premises in the Vale of Glamorgan (UK) to establish itself as World of Whispers (WOW!) a pioneering Social Enterprise with a workable business model. A series of unforeseeable events has resulted in the project faltering and with every personal resource exhausted it faces termination at the end of August 2009 with the horses being re-homed as a result. Over a six year period ‘Wholly Horses’ welcomed literally hundreds of guests from across the globe, providing uplifting experiences with the herd that in addition to being developmental, educational and therapeutic offered a sense of freedom, friendship and fun. As a Social Enterprise, the work could be expanded to include more people of all ages particularly children and adults with terminal illness, learning difficulties, social disadvantage and disability. The project and the horses now urgently require help so that their amazing work can continue, for more infofrmation visit www.equamigo.com. Thank you

My friend is involved in something similar and I have seen first hand just what a difference being with horses makes to people who are not fortunate enough to be around them all the time.

Wish you all the luck in the world that you are able to keep this going.

QR- It doesnt say if its a business or a charity? But as it has no registered charity number i am taking its a business? and social enterprises are often businesses. In which case it should be down to the owner to fund it. Im sure the horses do great work but it is up to the owner to run the project in such a way that it funds itself. You state that it has a workable business model, yet needs rescuing?
