Chairman of Trustees - Tony Smith

Brownbread Horse Rescue Centre has been in operation for 30 years. The site comprises mainly of hedges, scrub and mature oaks. Water features include a small stream that runs most of the year, three ponds, and a windmill and pool. Additionally, there is an abundance of flora and fauna species.

The prevention of equine abuse and their rehabilitation. 125 acre farm in AONB with highest numbers of species of flora & fauna for any Wealden Meadow Farm. The Charity also trains selected ponies for disabled persons and groups. Wendy, our p/t groom is the only person paid; otherwise we are all volunteers. Every penny raised goes to the animals welfare where it should. Site of the first wind generator to be designed & constructed in the guise of a traditional Sussex smock mill in an AONB to boot!

Our Vision-

This small charity, that accepts equines from all over the UK, has become admired by all National animal charities for attaining such a high profile without salaried workers. This truly is a charity that puts the animals far beyond any personal gain for the workers.
The Centre has just one more project to complete, the information Centre, costing about £80k and consisting of an audio-visual room, sales, point and cavalry interactive museum on a mezzanine floor in a Sussex-style barn on site.

Programmes and Activities-

There are two Open Days Annually, each raising about £4k and including a dog show, dancers, singers, stalls, bouncy castle, archery, pony rides, refreshments, BBQ, raffle & tombola.
Normally the first is in May and the second in September 10.30am to 4pm.
Volunteers are always welcome and given basic training; we aim to pamper our volunteers with use of the indoor heated pool & sauna and, of course, invitation to join in our social occasions. Volunteers are automatically entered into the Friends group, currently about 700, all of which receive 3 newsletters annually
