Volunteering With Us
All of our Norwich and District Group activities rely solely on the volunteers who join us. We have no paid members of staff, so we are incredibly grateful for the time and enthusiasm that our volunteers put in.
Volunteering with RDA is fun and rewarding and all of our helpers get a huge amount of satisfaction from their commitment. There is nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a nervous child flourish physically and emotionally when they take part in riding sessions. It is also a great way to make new friends!
