An open day at Teddington’s Park Lane Stables welcomed an appearance from Twickenham’s MP Tania Mathias and raised £900 for a Down’s syndrome charity.

The stables, which is itself raising money for a new roof, donated the funds to 21&Co.

Stables owner Natalie O’Rourke said: "It was lovely to see Dr Mathias and update her on our plans and activities."
