HELP ENTERPRISE – THE MCINTYRE CENTRE
HELP Enterprise’s Equine Therapy facility, the McIntyre Centre, has been providing equine-assisted activities and therapies to support people with a disability for over 50 years. The centre uses the special horse-human relationship to help people reach their goals, develop new skills, and achieve personal growth.
YOUR SUPPORT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The McIntyre Centre will use funds raised on the day to continue to support people with a disability to enjoy and benefit from the services offered.
While the NDIS supports people with a disability to undertake therapy at McIntyre Centre, the costs to provide this service far outweigh the funding supplied – the gap must be covered by the centre itself.
Horses (live and mechanical) are a costly endeavour, as are the continuous improvements to services, the ongoing maintenance of the Centre, and recovery from recent flood events.
Your donations not only help cover these vital expenses, but will also have a life changing impact on our McIntyre Centre participants and their families.
