Diamond Centre pays tribute to co-founder, June Webb
June Webb, co-founder of The Diamond Centre for Disabled Riders, sadly passed away on 25th July aged 86 years.
Many people at Diamond and in the local community have very fond memories of June and the early days of Diamond when June and her husband Keith, a mounted policeman, established the centre, in Carshalton over 50 years ago.
June was an avid horse lover and a truly amazing person. She and Keith shared a passion and enthusiasm for disabled riding and over the years horse riding has benefited many people with physical disabilities and learning difficulties. The fact that their legacy continues today is testimony to their foresight, hard work and commitment.
Steve Axon, Chairman of the Trustees, said: “Quite simply, Diamond would not exist had it not been for their vision and foresight and we will always be thankful for all June did for the centre”.
June and Keith retired to the Forest of Dean some years ago and June’s family have asked that donations in her memory should go to the Diamond Centre.
