A group of seven volunteers and five riders joined a walk along Southend seafront, collecting money for Sugarloaf RDA.

The walk was done in fancy dress, such as wild inflatable animals, a cowgirl and a jockey, and volunteers raised £90.51p.

All proceeds will be going to the upkeep of horses which now work from Foxhounds Riding School, in Orsett, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings. Sugarloaf RDA is a charity which aims to improve the lives of people with Special Educational Needs.
