VOLUNTEERS’ WEEK 2025

Our Clwyd RDA Group volunteers were honoured with a special visit!

Our Clwyd RDA Group volunteers were honoured with a special visit and heartfelt thanks from Katherine and Geraint - representatives of the Flintshire Local Voluntary Council (FLVC), and Julie Gillbanks – High Sheriff of Clwyd.

Katherine gave a personal thank you on behalf of FLVC, recognising the incredible dedication of our volunteers who make equine-assisted therapy possible at our Centre.

To show their appreciation, FLVC also treated everyone to delicious cakes – always a big hit!

Julie spoke warmly about the impact each volunteer has on creating the Centre’s community spirit, their long-term dedication, and how vital they are in helping the Centre to deliver life-changing activities. Quite simply, without our volunteers, none of this would be possible.

A huge thank you to Julie, Katherine and Geraint, for taking the time to meet our team and experience the magic of what we do first-hand. And of course, a shout-out to our beloved yard cat, Boots, who we proudly count as a volunteer too!

Get involved today and help make a difference! We’re always looking to welcome new volunteers – the more hands we have, the more lives we can change through the power of horses.
