Philanthropy & Major Giving

Philanthropy and major giving are vital to RDA’s ongoing work. Your generous support helps us continue delivering life-changing programmes that provide the therapeutic benefits of horses, making a lasting difference in the lives of those we help.

Empower Change

Each year, RDA UK provides life-changing therapeutic services through horses to over 25,000 disabled children and adults across the UK.

To support our work, we depend on the kindness of the public—from children decorating and selling used horseshoes to generous family charitable trusts pledging substantial multi-year donations to help us provide our services.

We value each and every gift.  

For example: 

£1,000 – The average cost of one participant accessing RDA’s therapeutic and fun activities each year

£8,000 – Sponsorship of a horse at the National Training Centre. The welfare of our horses and ponies is essential to the delivery of our work. On average, each of our horses provides riding and fun experiences to 8 riders every week. 

£15,000 – Help us to recruit and train more volunteers. RDA is reliant on our army of 13,000 volunteers and to grow our services in future years, we’ll need even more!

£40,000 – Support our Safeguarding work for a year. RDA UK works with 20,000 vulnerable adults and children every year, so safeguarding is at the heart of all we do. 

£60,000 – Support 12 volunteer coaches through their Advanced Coach Qualification at RDA’s Princess Royal Coaching Academy.
