I "met" EMW-UK through a couple of web forums about 10/11 years ago and felt that it was a decent, honest organisation and what you saw was what you got. I gradually became involved in fundraising for them via the Internet. At the time my husband was very ill but desperately in need of something useful to do so he started making various small items which we sold via eBay to raise money.
After a great deal of work for many years EMW-UK finally qualified to be a registered UK charity ( No 1114700 ) which was a great step forward and I was honoured and surprised to be asked to became a Trustee.
It wasn't until after he died in 2005 that I was able to actually go and meet the people and equines we had been helping but had never spoken to let alone met. During 2006 I visited Elaine and met the horses and ponies twice. Then just after Christmas 2006 I had a stroke which was very mild but has some unwanted long term effects.
So to the present where the changes in social media have made a huge difference to Charities I try to keep up with things via Twitter @EMWSanctuary and our Facebook fan page Equine Market Watch Sanctuaries(UK) there are 3 admins of the fan page all post under the same name - just to confuse ourselves.
I feel that is long and boring enough to be going on with and will try to post something more interesting in future.
