Managing director Heather Watson with volunteers, staff and young people A CHARITY giving young people a second chance at education will be able to create extra space at its base to cope with rising demand thanks to a coronavirus fund grant. Wiltshire Equine Assisted Learning, which helps children and young people from six to 18 struggling with autism, ADHD, mental health issues or anxiety, has received £5,000 from Wiltshire Community Foundation’s Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund. The grant will help it rent and renovate barns at its base at Stagwood Stables near Holt so its users have more space to learn after numbers have tripled in three years. The ten-year-old charity uses outdoor learning and working with animals to engage young people who find it hard to cope in the classroom and are often permanently excluded or refuse to go to school.
