RDA Causeway Coast and Glens.
Our traditional RDA activity remains as our core mission and is continuing as usual after Covid.
RDA sessions run Tuesday/Wednesday/ Thursday for schools and Saturday mornings for non school 9 – 1pm.
Sessions are led by a coach and run against strict risk management policies. We have 12 horses and ponies at the centre.
As a Charity, RDA Causeway Coast and Glens is dependent upon the volunteers who give their time in a wide variety of different ways.
If you could spare just a few hours each week, you could make a real difference to the lives of the people who benefit from the Centre’s services.
You can volunteer in a number of ways
- Lead horses in lessons
- Walk beside horses in lessons
- Train to be an RDA Coleraine Instructor
- Help to maintain the land, building and estate.
- Help in the stable yard.
- Help in the office.
- Social Media campaigner
- Help with marketing and publicing events.
- Donate your professional skills for free.

No experience is necessary, just a willingness to help the team!
Roles that include supporting lessons need a regular commitment. Most roles require a Access NI form to be completed, and all roles require a reference. If you would like to volunteer please complete the form below and the Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch.
RDA provides the opportunity to gain valuable experience in many key life skills and includes working to support children and adults with learning and physical disability, including behavioural challenges. This is very valuable and rewarding work, which enriches the lives of volunteers and participants alike. We provide important opportunities for social interaction, upskilling, and personal development. The value of work such as this as you know is well regarded by potential employers, universities etc and we often provide references for students and job applicants.
We can support Duke of Ed and similar programmes, including work and student placements for colleges.
