Expression of Interest Connection Groups & Riding Lessons

Elysian’s Connections Groups and Riding Lessons – Registration and Expression of Interest

Welcome to Elysian’s Connections Groups and Riding Lessons enquiry form.

Our Connections groups and riding activities are designed to provide children and young people with opportunities to learn new skills, build confidence, develop friendships and enjoy meaningful experiences with animals in a supportive and engaging environment.

These activities are community-based educational, recreational and enrichment programmes. Participants should generally be able to access group activities and riding sessions safely with light support and follow guidance from staff within a small group setting.

Please complete the form below with details about your child, their interests, experience and any relevant information that may help us assess suitability. This information will help the Elysian team review your enquiry and discuss the most appropriate activities and availability with you.

If your child struggles to participate in groups with low support, or you are looking for specialist therapeutic support, SEND-specific services, family sessions or individual intervention programmes, please complete our Session and Event Enquiry Form instead. https://elysianuk.org/session-and-event-enquiry-form/
