Park Lane Stables are a beloved part of the Teddington community.

So the shocking news that the landlord was putting the stables up for sale rallied the town.

Already the stables have raised just under £100,000 - but they still need your help.

A total of £1 million needs to be raised in order to buy the land where the stables are.

The lease expires on May 31st 2020 - so the money needs to be raised by then.

Here is a statement about what they do - and why the stables need to stay in their current home.

"In a non Covid year we provide 3000 sessions of therapeutic riding including hippotherapy and carriage driving.

"We have a huge waiting list of adults and children with disabilities in need of our services, the demand is most definitely there!

"We need to stay in our current home so our participants without sight can get to us on public transport.

"If we were tucked away in a different location those that need us most would not be able to reach us and would become more socially isolated.

"We are a social hub for many adults with additional needs who come to the stables for a horsey fix, be that riding, carriage driving, grooming, jobs around the yard or just sharing secrets with their trusted 4 legged friend."
