Mane Chance Sanctuary Mane Chance Sanctuary is devoted to helping animals (mainly horses) who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and left to die. All staff are volunteers and donations go direct to care for the animals. The Trustees have an advisory board that includes Veterinary Doctors, Business Professionals and animal lovers, all dedicated to improving the lives of the animals. It costs at least £2,500 per week to support the animals. Some of the animals visit The Shooting Star CHASE hospice for the children to pet, and it is the Sanctuary’s dream to expand and be able to welcome special needs children and riding for the disabled in a friendly and encouraging environment.
Shooting Star CHASE is the children's hospice service, supporting local families with a child or teenager not expected to reach their 19th birthday. They currently help over 500 families living in western London, Surrey and West Sussex and are committed to caring for these families, offering practical, nursing and emotional support. Families receive this support free of charge, 365 days a year, in their own homes and communities and at the children’s hospices. With no guaranteed Government funding they must raise £23,000 a day to continue this vital service.
Profit from Rockin’ Horses will go directly to these two charities.
£55 premium tickets include best seats, a glass of champagne and a programme.
