๐I signed up as a volunteer with this charity when the online chat and phone answering service started in early 2024, with 24/7availability. It's primary aim is to support anyone involved with horses or working in the associated industries. The volunteers all have some degree of equestrian experience. However, we have all taken calls from non horsey people, and even callers from other countries like Canada and the USA. Why wouldn't we?
๐So for everyone involved, a huge well done, and what a great achievement in such a relatively short time!
๐๐We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Riders Minds has been awarded The Kingโs Award for Voluntary Service โ the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and the equivalent of an MBE.
๐This prestigious recognition celebrates the exceptional contribution of the Riders Mindsโ volunteers, whose tireless efforts have transformed the landscape of mental health support across the equestrian world, and we couldn't be any prouder.
