Volunteering
Through the commitment of volunteers,
RDA enables people with disabilities to ride or carriage
drive to benefit their health and wellbeing and to
achieve their goals.
Cambs College RDA Group, like all RDA groups, relies on
the input and support of our volunteers who not only
help with riding but also help raise funds, act as
administrators and treasurers and simply keep the group
running.
For those of us actively involved in the running of our
group, it has been a joy and enlightenment to discover
how much the riders benefit from this activity: seeing
their improvement is a most rewarding experience.
We always welcome new volunteers. If you would like to
get involved, please contact us.
