Wear Valley Riding for Disabled Association
Wear Valley Riding for Disabled (RDA) is one of many groups representing the National RDA in the North region.
Riding for the Disabled (RDA) is a federation of Member Groups, dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through the provision of opportunities for riding and/or carriage driving.
Through the commitment of volunteers, RDA North Region helps to improve the health and wellbeing of people with disabilities in Cumbria, Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland by delivering a real and lasting therapy that not only benefits mobility and co-ordination but encourages confidence and self-worth achieving their goals whilst having fun.
We are host to the Wear Valley Riding for Disabled Association (RDA). We are very privileged to host and work with the Wear Valley RDA. The board of trustees provide support of our disabled rider’s provision. Without their support our work would be considerably more difficult.
