02 Activities

What the charity does

At Rockinghorse, we aim to make life better for sick and disabled babies, children and teenagers across Sussex. We do this by providing cutting edge equipment that the NHS cannot cover and by making medical and respite facilities for children and young people as comfortable, friendly and accessible as possible.
