Tauranga Riding for the Disabled offers equine therapy to more than 150 riders per week.

They are passionate about offering equine therapy to better the lives of people in need within the community.

'Our volunteer team of 100 are at the heart of our organisation and provide us the support to operate at a high level,” says Tauranga RDA general manager Elisha Olds.

'Volunteering with RDA is fun, rewarding and confidence building.

'No matter your age or background – there is a volunteer role for you at Tauranga Riding for the Disabled.

'No experience is required to become a volunteer, and training is provided.”

Riders ride eight weeks of each school term, and during this time volunteers have a variety of jobs and sessions to choose from.

Come along to the Volunteer Open Day on this coming Wednesday, February 15, to find out more about volunteering for Tauranga Riding for the Disabled. For more details on volunteering and the Open Day, see Tauranga RDA's advertisement on this page.
