VOLUNTEERS’ WEEK 2025
Meet Jim – One of Our Amazing Volunteers!
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.
“I enjoy meeting new people and learning new skills,” Jim says. “Helping to maintain the site gives me a real sense of achievement.”
For Jim, volunteering is about more than staying busy – it’s about being outdoors, keeping fit, and witnessing the joy the Centre brings to others.
“Every time I see the kids arriving for their sessions, I can’t help but smile,” he shares. “The joy and excitement they get from their time with the horses is truly heart-warming.”
Jim’s message to others considering volunteering?
“Come and give it a go – you’ve got nothing to lose! A few hours a week can make a big difference.”
Thank you, Jim – you’re a star!
There’s a variety of ways you can volunteer here at the Centre – you don’t have to be horsey to help.
