Here are some of our amazing volunteers
Rebecca Goodier
Volunteer 2018
Rebecca Goodier first made contact with charity when her son Jamie (now 11) who has Down’s syndrome was born. Rebecca has helped Cheshire Down’s Syndrome Support Group with a variety of fundraising events from bag packing to dragon boat racing. In 2018 Rebecca received our Volunteer of the Year award.
Emma Harris
Volunteer 2019
Emma, who has Down’s syndrome, started selling gingerbread sock biscuits at her primary school to raise funds. Since then, her initiative has grown with 52,000 sock biscuits being sold in 2019. Emma has received a local hero award, a Pride of Manchester award and a Points of Light award from the Prime Minister.
Nicole Quirk
University Volunteer
We put out a call for help to design students at the University of Chester and, fortunately for us, it was answered by Nicole. She has used her talents to produce posters, marketing materials and info graphics to publicise the work of the Charity. Nicole is the very deserving winner of the University of Chester’s Charity’s Choice Award 2019.
