Trustee Trustees are responsible for the governance of our Riding for the Disabled Group based at Reelig, Kirhill and to enable the group to go forward. Ideally you will have experience and keen interest in horses, with a significant understanding of the therapeutic benefits that come from being around them. It would be good if you also had experience of working with young people, individuals with disabilities and health issues. We hope to see Highland RDA grow from strength to strength. A good communicator with strong organisational skills would be desirable. Meetings are held every 1-2 months. you will be invited to attend 2 meetings before committing to volunteer. An introduction pack can be requested on application

IT & Web Content Creator Are you creative? Do you have an interest in horses and supporting disabled riders? We need an enthusiastic IT and Content Creator to help boost our social media presence. You can do this from home but you are always welcome to visit the yard, meet our horses and riders and be part of a friendly team. Perhaps you are a budding photographer, our horses are very photogenic and it would be super to let people see how wonderful they are. You would be required to maintain and update the Highland Group RDA website and advise on IT. It would be great if you could come to our events, or even organise some of your own for RDA. This is a role with a lot of scope for the right person.
