2025/26- Reading Roadrunners Charity of the Year
Charity Coordinator: Angelique Haswell
We would like to say a huge thank you to Roadrunners for voting to support SAFE – Saving Abandoned Fly-Grazing Equines as the club charity of the year. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause, that means so much to us.
More information about SAFE – Saving Abandoned Fly-Grazing Equines: SAFE is a local charity run by a small dedicated group of volunteers who tirelessly help abandoned horses in need. We offer support to land owners, including local authorities as well as private individuals. If we have the room and budget available, we will rescue horses and rehabilitate and re-home them. This takes a huge amount of funding, our vet bills being our highest expense.
We do not use any donations on overheads and every penny is used directly on the horses in our care.
Many of the horses are lucky enough to be re-homed, while a few remain with the charity permanently. One such permanent resident is an older horse named Sian (pictured above), who was rescued from being abandoned on a country lane. A beautiful tribute to our own much-missed Sian James, an animal lover who remains fondly remembered by the club.
