Levin RDA Volunteer Day

The Levin Riding for the Disabled Group begins its year with a Volunteers’ Day for current and new volunteers on Thursday 7 February. The introduction and training session will be held rain or fine.

Levin RDA President Brenda Kean says, "We welcome people who are interested in volunteering with the Group to attend this session. They can meet our current volunteers and horses and find out what we do and how they can be involved."

"Our volunteers give their time and energy so that RDA can continue to provide our riding therapy programme for disabled children and adults. This includes working with the horses and riders during the riding therapy sessions. They also help with administration and cleaning duries, publicity and fundraising events, working bees and the maintenance of the arena and paddocks."

"Whether running the riding sessions or working behind the scenes, their participation is vital to RDA. We always welcome new helpers."

The Levin Group RDA runs riding therapy programmes for children and adults with disabilities from Kapiti to Manawatu. The riding programmes help each person to develop, increase and improve their physical and psychological abilities; social and communication skills; and recreational abilities.
