<DIV>Hi Centres,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hoping all of you are well and getting excited to step into what the
remaining of 2021 has for us all</DIV>
<DIV>and that we can once again open our gates/doors and welcome back our
volunteers and participants.</DIV>
<DIV>I am sure the horses will be very happy to see those that they love and
have missed over the last few months.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sending out some information re the Newcastle Permanent grant that is
now open and if there are any centres that </DIV>
<DIV>feel this grant is for them I encourage you to jump online and apply.</DIV>
<DIV>Stay safe everyone and enjoy the rest of the weekend and I hope that Monday
bring some much </DIV>
<DIV>needed relief,comfort and support to all and that you can finally catch up
with family,friends and loved ones.</DIV>
