Summary

We are looking for volunteers to support our inclusive community. We are neuro affirming and welcome applicants from a variety of skills backgrounds.

Detailed description

We are looking for kind and reliable individuals to join our inclusive team and community to help care for our land and team of horses. Training will be given along with opportunities for support and social connection, (though this isnt an expectation)

Our horses require care 7 days a week, 365 days of the year so that they can provide the much needed mental health support within our wider community.

We are a friendly and welcoming team that holds an ethos of supporting one another and valuing each other.

We firmly believe that this ethos is part of our authenticity as an organisation that trickles down to the clients that we support.

We are looking for volunteers that can help with horse care, yard duties, exercising the horses, though please note this is non ridden. We are also looking for maintenance of the site support, anyone with gardening skills, landscaping, administration, fundraising, social media, assisting on workshops.

We appreciate any help that we can be given, our organisation relies heavily on its community based orientation. We are a community within the wider community, your community. We aim to improve the wellbeing of those who need help within the community, our community. To do this we need help, help to create the hub of support and inclusion for those who have been excluded by differences or trauma.
