Charlton Park School for the Disabled in south east London have learned that someone
is misuing their name by fundraising to replace a pony that they say has died.
The
Greenwich Mercury reports that all of the organisation’s ponies are alive and well.

The alarm was raised after a one of the charity’s volunteers learned of a fundraising
letter sent to a local supermarket, allegedly on behalf of the school.

 

 

Chairwoman Carol Kendall is concerned that other letters have been sent. “We rely
on fundraising, so this undermines our work”, she said. “If people do receive this
begging letter we want them to know it is not from us.”
