Eat, Sleep, Ride, CIC
We strive to help people develop, our horses thrive and our local environment regenerate
Who We Are
Eat Sleep Ride CIC is a social enterprise based in Lamberton, East Berwickshire, operating from a solar-powered facility. Our team includes 17 horses that are central to our programs, dedicated to empowering young people and giving a voice to the voiceless, particularly those from low-income and rural backgrounds.
Our Mission
We empower young people to drive social and economic change and support families in taking positive steps forward. Our goal is to enrich lives through equine experiences, fostering personal development, creativity, resilience, and community engagement.
What We Do
Youth Empowerment: Offering accredited awards to help youth gain credits for further education, mentoring, free accessible events, and a youth club.
Community Support: Providing volunteering opportunities and fostering social integration through hands-on activities and teamwork.
Environmental Stewardship: Promoting sustainable living through projects inspired by the leadership of our horse herd.
Therapeutic Services: Offering therapeutic, educational, and professional growth opportunities focused on mental and emotional health.
Inclusivity: Creating a platform for marginalised groups to express themselves and find support within a caring community.
Why We Do It
At Eat Sleep Ride CIC, we believe in the power of young people and the importance of diversity as the precursor to unity. By fostering environments where young people can make decisions, express their creativity, and take on leadership roles, we nurture future leaders who will drive social and economic progress.
We are committed to environmental stewardship, promoting sustainable living, and respecting nature. Our projects, like rewilding and developing green spaces, help nature thrive and educate our community on ecological responsibility.
Our ethos extends to ensuring every voice is heard, and we provide platforms for these individuals to share their stories and find support, fostering a sense of community and inclusion.
