Target reached!
The more funds we raise the more disabled people we can help achieve their goals.
Providing employment for disabled people.
Haworth, England, United Kingdom
Aim
To be able to offer disabled people that currently volunteer on our project employment so they can learn new skills and improve Cvs.
We now want to take the help and support that we can offer disabled people to the next level by having the funds available to offer part time employment, looking after our RDA horses and ponies and supporting other disabled people in recreational and therapeutic riding sessions, to the disabled community. The reasons for us wanting to do this are:
- To create a workforce that will reflect the diverse range of beneficiaries we serve and the community in which we are based
- We want to help increase the understanding of disability and let our local community see what disabled people are capable of.
- We want to ensure that disabled people have the opportunity to fulfill their full potential – reaching their personal dreams and aspirations.
- To inspire others living with disabilities.
We already focus on helping those disabled riders that want to make the transition to becoming a volunteer on our project and we already offer disabled young people work experience with us. We see being able to offer them meaningful employment as the next natural step.
