About Friends of Gellings
Friends of Gellings is a not-for-profit community organisation based in North Liverpool and Knowsley.
​
We currently operate out of Gellings Riding School, supporting its day-to-day operations while delivering a wide range of community-facing programmes — from inclusive riding lessons and SEND wellbeing sessions to volunteering and school-based outreach.
​
Run by a passionate team of volunteers, riders, parents, and professionals, Friends of Gellings exists to ensure that horses remain a part of city life — and that every young person, regardless of background, can benefit from the joy, confidence and connection that horses bring.
