Today we share the experience, Gerry Green has had as a volunteer at Clwyd Special Riding Centre…
“30 years on and I am still volunteering!
"The joy of being part of someone’s progressive journey is immeasurable. I feel privileged to have supported children right from their very first riding session through to them leaving school; even to proudly watching them compete at the Para Olympics.
"The RDA too is one big global family, and one that, as an RDA Instructor and holiday organiser, has allowed me to travel to America, and to help run holidays at CSRC for groups visiting from Hong Kong and Russia. I am proud to be part of a solution that provides opportunities to those who may not have access to the benefits of sport, the recognition, enjoyment, and acquisition of skills within a highly recognised discipline.
"Volunteering is not just about giving to others; it has enriched my life too.”
GET INVOLVED:
Just a few regular hours a week from a volunteer can help offer more people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of equine therapy; and the act of volunteering can help to enhance your own well-being too. And while we need volunteers who can commit to weekly sessions, we are also looking for people who can help at events, and to maintain the site and garden areas.
