After a busy few months of Summer, we have progressed as follows:
Infrastructure
- The fencing is now up around most of the property, and we just need to complete fencing on the newly acquired land
- The gypsy caravans have been well used over the summer, and we hope to be able to use them for a few more months
- Renovation to begin soon on a “studio” so as to be able to accommodate more people on site
Team
- We now have the right team in place to cover all bases plus a small group of volunteers.
- Full team/ volunteers have all been given a basic training in Equitherapy .
- Lucas is in charge of day-to-day management.
Focus
Largely depends on the target audience but;
- Equitherapy – natural emphasis on burn out (pre/ preventative and post) cf. regaining confidence and getting back in the saddle
- Equicoaching – natural emphasis on teamwork and leadership skills cf. non verbal clarity of communication and direction
Clients
- Clubhouse Marseille continues to come on Fridays
- Full weekend of Equitherapy and other activities with Clubhouse Lyon which was a big success. Others in the planning.
- Meeting with the mayor of La Tour d’Aigues (nearby town) to agree on future groups locally.
- Open workshops to start on Wednesdays for people to drop in on an individual basis.
Finance
- Core sponsors now in place
- Several one-off donations
- Ongoing
