We're delighted to welcome two new members to the DSC team...

Vicky Irwin is our new CEO and brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and energy from her previous role as brand and community manager of Sale Sharks.




"I am really excited about joining DS Cheshire, the work they currently do is life-changing to many families and I’m looking forward to joining the team. I think there is massive opportunity here and I’m excited as to how we can change and impact more lives going forward and how we support the DS community within Cheshire more going forward."

We're delighted to welcome Laura Leather to our board of trustees. Laura has a daughter, Ruby, with Down syndrome and has been a valued family member for many years. Laura has agreed to become our dual diagnosis trustee and will be further developing our services in this area so that she might reach out across the region to better support those families with children who have a dual diagnosis.

We’re really excited to share that we’re developing a new outdoor space at the Hub. The aim is to create an area where members can spend more time outdoors, grow vegetables, learn new skills and enjoy activities in a relaxed, safe outdoor environment. Over the coming months we’ll be planting and maintaining a small vegetable growing area, which members will help care for as part of their sessions. If you have anything you might be able to donate, we would love to hear from you. This could include: • Garden tools • Old garden pots • Compost or soil • Seeds or vegetable plants • Outdoor furniture or materials Community Open Day – 11th April We’ll also be hosting a Hub Open Day on 11th April , where families can come along and help us get the space ready for the better weather (which we’re hoping arrives soon!). There will be opportunities to help with: • painting • preparing planting areas • general outdoor tidy-up • getting the space ready for use It should be a lovely way to spend a bit of time together while creating something really positive for our members.
