Park Lane Stables RDA

So proud of our whole team as we achieved 5 stars in our local authority inspection this morning.

The local authority vet looks at the condition of the horses and all aspects of welfare including development of our team.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Two equestrian charities have joined forces to explore the impact horses can have in bringing people together and helping young people improve confidence, build self-belief and develop meaningful connections across very different environments and life experiences.

The Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) and the Power of Polo, a grassroots charity which uses polo as a tool for social impact with young people facing social, economic and health challenges, have combined to bring together young people from very different backgrounds through a range of three structured exchanges.

Another awesome day at Turks Head 10 yesterday.

We LOVE being part of such an amazing event. Well done to our team of runners and volunteers and well done to superstar Jack being last over the line.

Dan, Jonty, Josiah and Lucy are all running the Turks Head 10 10K race for us on June 7th to raise money for participants like Dan and Josiah who benefit so much from being with horses.

Hear what our fundraiser-runners say:

❤️ Park Lane Stables is like a second home. It’s a place where I feel calm, accepted and understood, and where I can be myself without worrying about fitting in. Horses help me learn in a way that makes sense to me, and through Park Lane I’ve had opportunities I never imagined’. Josiah, RDA participant ❤️

❤️ Excited to test my legs and run for Park Lane Stables - I love everything they do for children and families and would recommend anyone to volunteer with them because it’s so rewarding. Lucy - Volunteer ❤️

Without events like these, and the relentless cheer of our participants, volunteers and volunteer fundraisers none of our work would be possible.

Special shout out to Josiah for stepping up very last minute to run for us 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Every one of our volunteers brings a different skill to the stables.

We are so grateful to everyone who brings their own experiences and expertise to make so much happen for others.

Volunteering time = confidence in others and improved wellbeing. Just one hour a week has proven positive impact.

It really is what you CAN do that counts.

🤩This week is all about our amazing volunteers🤩

Did you know that volunteering brings dual benefit? Of course our participants benefit but what about the volunteers themselves? Here are just some of the benefits giving your time to others can bring you:
🐴 Increased confidence.
🐴Widening of social network .
🐴Opening of a career gateway.
🐴Boost to mental and physical health.

We cannot praise our volunteers enough, they are simply amazing and make all the magic happen.
