To run an operation such as East Holton Driving Centre is both
costly and labour intensive. Without the support of the community
and our volunteer helpers we could not provide this wonderful
service to our many disabled people. We try to encourage all our
disabled drivers to achieve their personal goals.
With every drive out we require 4 escorts on bicycles (or electric
buggies) for a wheelchair user, and 3 escorts for an ambulant
person.
If you would like to help this worthwhile cause or can spare a
few hours a week, or perhaps be available to help on an occasional
basis please contact us. No knowledge is necessary as we will
train our helpers. We also offer the opportunity for helpers to
learn to drive, teach and encourage our clients; it is important
that everyone who helps gets some personal enjoyment from their
activities - it must never seem like a 'duty to disabled people'.
For some it may be handling horses, or cycling in the fresh air,
or learning to drive a horse & carriage, or just social inter-action.
The people you meet while at East Holton Driving Centre are, like
you, caring and compassionate individuals with a love of animals
and their fellow people. You don't have to be mad to work with
us, but it helps!!
All that we ask is
that you possess a sensible pair of boots and a good sense of
humour!
Join us today and start:
- Making new friends
- Learning new skills
- Living a healthier lifestyle
- Having fun with like-minded people.
Any assistance is appreciated, whether it is assisting with the
horses and driving, yard work and equipment maintenance, or liaison
and fund raising.
