We know Tiggy would be so proud to see the line up of auction lots and the equestrian and racing celebrities attending Cheltenham on December 10th along with her many friends. Our aim through Tiggy’s Trust is to spread kindness and inclusivity and empower youths through mental health support, education and training.”
