The Presidents Sporting Club/Essex Disabled Sports Foundation (Registered Charity No. 1001176), has now raised well over £2 million which has been donated to schools and organisations, such as Riding for the Disabled to provide sporting facilities and opportunities for disabled children. The money raised is used to provide sports equipment, coaching and tuition, the hire of sports halls and the funding of outings and adventure type holidays. Taking part in sport increases the childrens self confidence, physical development and self esteem and helps them meet challenges that they may face later in life.
