How can you help us
How we are funded
Penniwells receives no direct funding from central government and relies on the generosity of individuals, businesses and charitable trusts to run our Centre.
We are a highly progressive and ambitious Centre of Excellence who without help cannot continue to provide such a needed service to our riders.
The Centre relies entirely on fundraising and donations.
Penniwells relies on its army of volunteers throughout the week. We can never have enough volunteers, as the more people who help us, the more riders can be offered opportunites to ride.



Riding profit
The Centre costs over £265,000 per year to run – riding only brings in around 50% of this and so we are totally reliant on fund-raising, donations and applying for grants to make it all come together. Please help support our events where you can.
