The RDA Unicorn Centre in Middlesbrough, established in 1998, offers activities such as riding, equine therapy, and volunteering for people with additional needs.

Potential rescue proposals are being explored in an attempt to save the centre.

The centre faces closure due to growing fundraising financial pressures, with the trustees announcing the decision on 1 October.

Note: The RDA Unicorn Centre is a separate entity from the Unicorn Equestrian Centre, a registered charity in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.
