Services Offered: Although RDA was set up to work mainly with people with physical disabilities, RDA Groups now work across the spectrum of disabilities, age range, social status and urban and rural environments. The focus of our work is to ensure that each individual has the chance to derive a direct therapeutic benefit and the opportunity to achieve their personal goal (whether that be learning a very simple skill or winning a major competition).

RDA gives individuals the opportunity to:

  • Reach therapeutic goals: improve muscle tone and posture, develop fine and gross motor movement
  • Achieve their personal ambitions: sit on a horse for the first time, learn new skills, win a Paralympic medal
  • Combat social isolation: build relationships, enjoy events and competition, develop self-confidence
  • Develop life skills: improve communication, take responsibility, be a team player
  • Experience the outdoors: ride in the countryside, access rural Britain
  • Connect with animals: bringing positivity and optimism, adding a new element to life
Disability Type: All Disabilities
