Charities
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to support some amazing charities.
The Brooke Charity
I’m very proud to be an Ambassador for The Brooke Charity. They support working donkeys, mules and horses and the communities that rely on them all over the world. I’ve been lucky enough to see the incredible work they do first hand in Senegal. They support these animals through welfare, education and community support, making the lives of working equines and their owners better.

World Horse Welfare
I am honoured to be Patron to World Horse Welfare. Their vision is a world where every horse is treated with respect, compassion and understanding.
World Horse Welfare is an international charity working across the full spectrum of the horse world to improve welfare and the horse-human partnership through care, research, education and influence.
My work with them has mostly been in promoting their rehoming program and centres across the UK. World Horse Welfare do incredible work running the largest equine rescue and rehoming scheme in the UK. I am proud to have rehomed Duke from World Horse Welfare after he was abandoned at birth.

Riding for the Disabled Association
The Riding for the Disabled Association “enriching lives through horses”
At the RDA horses benefit the lives of over 25,000 disabled children and adults. With fun activities like riding and carriage driving, we provide therapy, fitness, skills development and opportunities for achievement – all supported by 18,000 amazing volunteers and qualified coaches at nearly 500 RDA centres all over the UK.
I’ve been lucky enough to see first hand the incredible work that the RDA do at my local centre as well as attend the Nationals finals.

Team Tutsham
Team Tutsham is a registered charity predominately aimed at providing disadvantaged children with the opportunity to learn to horse ride, care for horses and socialise with children of varying ages and backgrounds.
I know how much benefit young people get from being around horses and this shouldn’t just be experienced by the well off.
I’m really proud to be patron for this amazing family of equestrians, doing so much good in their community.

Make A Wish
Make A Wish
Right now, around 63,000 children in the UK are eligible for a wish because they have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. From the moment they are diagnosed, the simple pleasures of childhood and family life are replaced by worry, disruption, medical appointments, financial worries and isolation.
Make-A-Wish exists to put those issues to one side by empowering a child with the chance to choose a wish that’s unique to them, when so much else has been decided for them because of their health needs. In doing so, a wish creates hope, happiness and memories for the whole family to cherish.
