After retiring early, Jim wanted to stay active and give back to a cause close to his heart. Now, he’s a key part of our gardening and maintenance team, helping to keep the Centre looking its best.

We’re incredibly proud that two of Clwyd Special Riding Centre’s long-standing volunteers, Gerry Green and Pam Jones have each been honoured with the prestigious President’s Award from the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA).

Our Clwyd RDA Group volunteers were honoured with a special visit from representatives of the Flintshire Local Voluntary Council (FLVC), and the High Sheriff of Clwyd.

We were delighted to welcome teams from HSBC Bank, as part of our employee volunteering programme, for two fantastic days of volunteering at Clwyd Special Riding Centre.

What better way to kick off National Volunteers' Week than by sharing some wonderful memories from our Volunteer Thank You Supper, held on 9th April.
