Big Leaf Foundation – Equine Assisted Therapy

Huge thanks to Guildford Philanthropy for supporting our work over the last few years. Big Leaf Foundation works with displaced young people aged 15-25 in Surrey and thanks to Guildford Philanthropy we have been able to buy much-needed football kit and run an equine-assisted learning programme. Horses can play a significant role in mental wellbeing and at the heart of this programme is a therapeutic focus on self-esteem and coping mechanisms for responding to trauma and distress.
