Role

Chair, Treasurer and Trustees, Ravelrig Riding for the Disabled Group

Join Us at an Exciting Time for Ravelrig Riding for the Disabled

Ravelrig Riding for the Disabled, based in Balerno, Edinburgh, provides life enhancing opportunities for children and adults with physical and/or learning difficulties to experience horse riding for fun, therapy and personal achievement.

As we move into 2026, we are entering an exciting new chapter. Our brand-new indoor arena is now fully operational, enabling us to offer both riding and non-riding equine experiences all year round, whatever the weather. This development significantly expands what we can offer to our participants and the wider community.

To help guide us through this next phase, we are looking for enthusiastic, committed individuals to join our Board as Chair, Treasurer, and Trustees. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference to a well-established charity with a strong local impact.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:

• Fundraising
• Communications and marketing
• Financial management
• Governance of small organisations

Experience with horses is welcome but not essential—what matters most is your passion, skills, and desire to contribute.

If you are looking for a chance to use your expertise to support an inspiring organisation and help shape its future, we would love to hear from you.
