Every Wednesday, in partnership with Bro
Morgannwg and Swansea NHS Trusts, Local Aid volunteers support
trained physiotherapists working with children who have a
range of physical disabilities.
Cimla Riding School, Neath, hosts the afternoon,
for children of all ages. Many children and young people continue
to ride at local stables following their sessions with Local
Aid. Children who attend are able to experience the chance
to touch, ride and enjoy the horses and surroundings.
They are encouraged to participate in several
physiotherapy exercises including honing their concentration,
hand eye coordination, balance, touch and smell. They gain
sensory experiences, build confidence; enjoy the animals and
the fresh air.
