In The Pony Club, volunteering is actively encouraged through schemes like <a href=\"https:\/\/pcuk.org\/yela\/\">YELA, <\/a>and if we don\u2019t keep encouraging our children to do this, sport will simply come to an end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all our volunteers for your support and help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n
