Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Do you want to be part of a dedicated team working towards a brighter future?

Volunteering with Equilore is your chance to support our mission to remove barriers and ensure adults and children have timely access to professional mental health support through our Equine Assisted therapies.

Why volunteer with Equilore?

At Equilore, we believe in the power of community and the impact of collective effort. By volunteering with us, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Make a real impact: By helping us keep the yard and horses in great condition, you will make our yard a better therapeutic space for our clients and our team.
• Learn and grow: Many of our volunteers have found Equilore a place to build their confidence, improve social skills or even just simply reconnect with their passion.
• Connect with like-minded individuals: Friendships have blossomed on the yard. Our volunteers sometimes car share or meet up even outside the yard.
• Flexible opportunities: We offer a variety of roles to suit your interests and availability. You could help us with the horse care, fundraising, community engagement or assist us when we work with groups. If you have specific skills such as making great videos for social media, accountancy, or admin we would also love to hear from you. You could help on the ground or perhaps even strategically as a trustee.

How volunteering can help you

Volunteering is not just about giving; it’s also about receiving. Here are some ways volunteering can positively impact you:

• Reduce stress: Helping others can provide a sense of purpose and fulfilment, reducing stress and anxiety.
• Boost happiness: Engaging in meaningful activities and connecting with others can increase your overall happiness and satisfaction.
• Improve self-esteem: Contributing to your community and seeing the positive impact of your efforts can enhance your self-esteem and confidence.
• Build your skills: Whether you want to go on to work with horses in the future, or you’re looking to spare a few hours each week to do something different, volunteering equips you with lots of transferable skills, from communication and teamwork to learning assertiveness and boundaries.

Whether you’re interested in helping around the yard, fundraising, community outreach & events or administrative support, there’s a place for you at Equilore. Join our community of volunteers.
