Wakefield RDA are delighted to be awarded 'Highly Commended' in the Creative Minds Category at the South West Yorks NHS Excellence Awards.

The new Equine Therapy Programme in partnership with Older Peoples Services began in May this year, made possible with a grant from Creative Minds Project.

Participants have enjoyed working alongside staff and volunteers and meeting the horses, grooming, leading and progressing on to riding.

The 2013 programme will finish on the 10th December and all participants, staff and volunteers that have been involved with the programme look forward to meeting up to celebrate our achievements with mince pies and fun horsey activities.

We believe funding has been secured for 2014 so we look forward to continuing with new participants.
