- 

THE Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) has “with great sadness” announced the resignations of its new chief executive and its chair.

CEO Kathryn England and Rachel Medill MBE are both stepping down.

“We know this will come as a shock to many, particularly given Kathryn’s recent appointment, and it creates a challenge for all of us,” a spokesman for the charity said.

She added that “a significant difference of opinion and concern around changes that have been made and the approach to change taken within RDA” had become apparent. It was this difference in opinion that had led to Ms England’s decision and Ms Medill’s the following week.
