Gatehouse Offers Charity Support

Gatehouse is working with the Child Brain Injury Trust to help raise the charity's profile in the equestrian sector. The company, which is also supplying its Design Headwear cycle helmets to the Trust, is supporting a range of fundraising activities for the 21st Anniversary celebrations.

 

Tracey Woods, sales and marketing manager for the brand, said, "We are delighted to help the Child Brain Injury Trust in any way we can. This amazing charity supports families of children with acquired brain injury, as well as carrying out educational work in relation to prevention, awareness and increased understanding of how brain injury can affect behaviour in the longer term. As with so many worthy causes, the charity receives no government funding, so really is reliant on public donations in order to continue and expand its work."

 

Gatehouse became involved with the charity when it stepped in to support a fundraising course walk by charity patron, Mary King, as part of the Trust’s ‘Challenge 21’ campaign. The event was planned for Badminton but has now been rescheduled for Burghley Horse Trials at the end of August. A raffle is also being arranged for later in the year and will feature, among other items, a Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull signed by a large number of leading equestrians.

 

In the meantime, people can support the Trust by buying copies of the Child Brain Injury Trust Cookbook, 21 Treats for 21 Years, where you can find Mary King's favourite flapjack recipe alongside contributions from Dame Judy Dench, Raymond Blanc, Mary Berry and children, families and staff associated with the Trust.
