Building Stronger Teams
Our Corporate Team Days provide the perfect opportunity to unite staff, get active, embrace the outdoors, and make a meaningful impact on local communities. In today’s fast-paced world, where teams often work remotely, taking the time to come together has never been more crucial.
In 2024, the RDA National Office in Warwickshire successfully brought together over 100 corporate volunteers to connect with their colleagues and give back to their communities. In partnership with NFU Mutual, we coordinated 14 different departments, contributing over 700 volunteer hours. 100% of participants rated their experience as ‘excellent’ and ‘enjoyable,’ and all would recommend it to a colleague.

Corporate Team Days can be designed around your needs, typically full- or half-day sessions for up to 20 people. Activities could include tack cleaning, fence painting, gardening, ditch clearance, levelling arena surfaces, seasonal cleaning and maintenance, with time to meet the horses and learn about our work.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Yard Maintenance: Assist in keeping our equestrian facilities and stables clean and well-maintained, ensuring a safe, welcoming environment for both our horses and participants.
-
Equipment Organisation: Help sort, clean, and organise tack and other equipment, ensuring everything is in top condition for both the equines and participants.
-
Equine Care & Engagement: Spend quality time with our horses, offering grooming and care, while learning about the life-changing work they do. Meet our equine heroes and gain insight into their vital roles in supporting the community.
Corporate Case Study: JLR
DIY SOS Week of Volunteering
We were thrilled to host the JLR team at the RDA National Training Centre for a memorable corporate team day as part of their DIY SOS Week of Volunteering. Over the course of the week, 36 volunteers from JLR worked tirelessly to help transform Charlie’s House, the home of our RDA mechanical horse. This space is crucial in supporting riders of all abilities with our life-changing therapeutic equipment.
The JLR team’s hard work and dedication created a warm and inviting environment that enhances the overall experience for our participants.
