RDA is a UK based national charity that provides opportunities for people with disabilities to get meaningful and lasting therapy and health benefits from riding and carriage driving.  A key part of the work is also to recognise and celebrate the achievenent of the participants and this lead to success from small steps forweard to going all the way to winning a Paralympic Gold medal.

We work through a network of 500 centres acorss the UK and rely on the input of volunteers at all of these centres.  Over 30,000 people of all ages currently benefit from the activity, but we know that for each of these people there are about another 4 people on a waiting list.  We are desperately trying to change this and although we have expanded by a third since 2009, we need more suppport and more volunteers to make this change.

We need volunteers of all backgrounds and with a variety of skills - not only those with experience of horses.  Whatever you do, we'll provide all the training and suppport you need.  If you want to talk through some of the options, get in touch.

Go on!  Get involved and help make a massive change to someone's life.
