Nicki, a veterinary nurse at The Veterinary Centre, very bravely completed a sponsored aquathlon challenge and raised £354 which was match funded by Brian and Simon, the vets at The Veterinary Centre, to bring the grand total to £708!
A huge thank you to the Black Horse Runners and Striders for raising £3019 for Digswell Place Group RDA. The keener members took part in a sponsored 10k Regents Park run and others completed a leisurely 10k sponsored walk through the countryside on Midsummer's eve. To top it all Lloyds Bank very kindly match funded the events bringing the total to an amazing £3019. We are extremely grateful to them for their fundraising efforts and their support for Digswell Place Group RDA.

Chocolate sprouts and coins were won by everyone who took part and the ponies won carrots and apples !!! Thanking you all for your support during the year and looking forward to seeing you next year !Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Digswell Place Group RDA
We are delighted to announce that Digswell Place Group RDA has been chosen by the Stable Yard Shops at Hatfield House as their chosen charity. The exclusive retailers which range from bridal wear to sweets, toys, music, jewellery, gun makers and a restaurant felt that it was appropriate to support us in view of the Stable Yard's rich history of working with horses. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity for us to raise the awareness of Digswell Place Group RDA in the local community it has also developed into a dynamic working partnership which has resulted in a very exciting new fundraising event: Dogs and Daffs Dog walk and Fun Dog Show to be held on 1st March 2015 [...]
A big thank you to Ramblers Worldwide Holidays for their very generous donation of £1000 !
