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.
