Let’s Build the Equimotional Venue
A space for connection, calm, and coaching—where young people and horses can heal together.
Hi, I’m Charlie—and I’m asking for your help to build something really special.
Equimotional has already helped hundreds of young people, adults, and professionals across the UK. We’re known for our trauma-informed, non-pathologising approach to mental health—and we’ve been doing it without a permanent venue. That’s right. All this time, we’ve been borrowing space, loading our kit into cars, and adapting to whatever we’re given.
But it’s time.
We need a home.
A safe, purpose-built venue where Equimotional Coaching can grow into something even more powerful—and more accessible for the young people who need us most.
🌱 Why this matters
We work with:
Children struggling with school anxiety and trauma
Young people on the edge of exclusion, or falling through the cracks
Care-experienced children, neurodivergent youth, and those who’ve lost faith in traditional therapy
Adults recovering from burnout, loss, or disconnection
Professionals looking for ethical, strength-based training in equine wellbeing coaching
And we do it all without clinical labels or shame.
Just honest connection. Gentle, intuitive coaching. And the power of ponies.
🐴 What we’re trying to build
We’re fundraising to secure and equip our own Equimotional coaching venue. That means:
🌿 A peaceful, nature-rich space with access to paddocks and shelter
🐎 Safe, welfare-first stables for our coaching ponies
🧠 Indoor and outdoor learning spaces for workshops and training
🪑 Accessibility for neurodivergent, disabled, and traumatised visitors
🌈 A sense of calm, safety and belonging from the minute someone arrives
This isn’t just for us. It’s for every family we support. Every young person who finds their voice through a horse. Every future Equimotional Coach we train.
🧾 Where your money goes
We’ve already got the plan. We just need the funds.
Here’s a rough breakdown of our initial fundraising goal:
£15,000 – Initial venue rental/purchase deposit
£8,000 – Infrastructure and fencing
£4,000 – Shelter, stable materials, and pony-safe equipment
£3,000 – Creating indoor learning space (shed conversion or similar)
£5,000 – Essential accessibility and safety adaptations
£5,000 – Insurance, setup fees, and launch phase costs
🎯 Target: £40,000 to create a permanent Equimotional home.
🎁 What you’ll get
We don’t want this to just be a donation. We want you to feel part of our herd.
£10+ – Equimotional digital thank-you card + your name on our "Wall of Hope"
£25+ – A downloadable mini Equimotional workbook for self-reflection

We’ll also be posting regular updates with real stories, photos, and progress reports. This is our journey—and you're part of it now. 💛
🧡 Why now?
Because demand is growing. Because the need is real. And because we can’t keep turning people away due to lack of space. This venue means more access, more healing, more hope.
It means no more sessions in borrowed fields or shared sheds. It means consistency, safety, and trust—the very foundations of trauma recovery.
🙌 Help us make it real
