Dear RDA UK volunteers and staff,

Firstly, welcome to all Coach Developers – not previously on this list (apologies), but on it now! If you have not received this email before, it’s a weekly message to all RDA UK volunteers ahead of the group email that goes out on Thursdays, so you have advanced notice of news and updates.

This will be the last ‘normal’ email before Christmas, and the next one will be on 13 January. If anything important crops up in the meantime I’ll be sure to let you know.

 

Free training: ‘Managing Change’ this Friday!

We have some spaces left for an online course this Friday 11th from 1pm - 2:45pm. This is just open to RDA UK volunteers (that’s you!) and is being delivered by the excellent people at Team Academy, who some of you will have worked with before. I would definitely recommend it, so do get in touch with Faye in the office fmckenning@rda.org.uk to sign up if you’re free this Friday.

 

RDA on ITV advert

If you didn’t happen to be watching Supermarket Sweep on Saturday, you may have missed the lovely People’s Postcode Lottery advert featuring RDA. I am allowed to share it until the end of this week, so visit our Facebook page or follow this link and take a look: https://youtu.be/FIcypeD0R70

 

Restarting hippotherapy

Hippotherapy is now able to restart at those groups that can offer it.  The guidance is now live on the myRDA website, covering details such as training horses and volunteers, as well as the extensive use of personal protective equipment following CSP and CPTRH guidelines.  Visit www.myrda.org.uk/runningyourgroup/getting-started-after-lockdown/24335-2/

 

RDA at Home

We are still looking for groups to send in their ideas for activities that can be done at home, so please be on the look out for resources that you think might be good to share. Email Alex Walker at awalker@rda.org.uk
