Kia ora, welcome to Volunteering Northland

Contact us

We are a not-for-profit organisation that provides services to disabled children and young adults in the Whangarei area. We have over 100 riders on our books and are able to ride 80 each term. Each rider has a programme worked out according to their particular goals and each term we reassess these goals and make new ones. At the end of each term we have a Fun Day.
We have the support of a dedicated committee, wonderful volunteers and financial support from public donations and grants from around the community. We also raise funds from the hire of our Arena and function room.

Available Roles:

Plant Sale Fundraiser Volunteer Coordinator

Immerse yourself in pots and soil, alongside our friendly plant nursery team, growing and selling plants to benefit our rider's wellbeing with Equine Therapy!
