Tritax Symmetry Charity of the Year 2022 & 2023

Tritax Symmetry are very pleased to have chosen to support Ride High Riding Centre and Ronald McDonald House as our 'Charity of the Year' for 2022 and 2023.

Ride High Riding Centre and Ronald McDonald House have been chosen as the company’s charities for the next two years.

Ride High was set up by Rachel Medill MBE in 2008 to help change children’s lives for the better using horses. The charity transforms the lives of disadvantaged children by giving them the opportunity to learn to ride and look after horses and ponies, effecting lasting change in their attitude, wellbeing, self-confidence and life prospects so they become happy, confident young people who are positively engaged in the outside world.

Ride High works with children aged 8-17 in Milton Keynes, particularly those living in the most deprived areas for whom there is no or little support available. Open to the public for riding lessons, liveries and parties, the equestrian centre’s profits all go towards supporting the 80 local children that visit every week.

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK has been operating for 30 years, since construction began on the first House in 1989. The best medical care for your child isn’t always close to home, and families often find themselves travelling long distances to be with their child in hospital.

The charity’s vision is for every child in hospital to have their families close by, and to ensure families are fully supported in their Houses and remain actively involved in their child’s care. This means that families can be by their child’s bedside in a matter of moments, whilst maintaining a degree of normal life and reducing emotional and financial strain.

The 12 Ronald McDonald Houses in the UK are located as close as possible to a specialist children’s hospitals across the UK, including in Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford and London. Every year the charity helps over 6,000 families stay close to their children in hospital.

As well as some individual challenges and events across the years for these charities the Tritax Symmetry team will be donning their walking boots to take on the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge completing 24 miles across the Yorkshire hills taking on Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough Summits (hopefully) within a 12 hour target!

Our challenge will take place on Thursday 15th September 2022 and as much support as possible will help keep the amazing work that our two charities do day in day out going!

TSL are incredibly thankful for any donation, however large or small, and monies raised will be split equally between Ride High Riding Centre and Ronald McDonald House.

Any donation you make can have such a large impact.

Thank you.
