ACTIVE Cheshire are delighted to announce that disability campaigner Dave Thompson OBE DL has joined their Board of Trustees.
Dave has been a partner of the physical activity charity for a long time with Active Cheshire and Warrington Disability Partnership supporting each other to grow over a number of years.
Active Cheshire’s CEO Anne Boyd said: “The team is delighted to have someone with such proven success in driving accessible and inclusive physical activity
on our board.
“His network of contacts and experience will add real value to our work and enable us to improve our offer to those with disabilities, as we know this particular area could have a significant impact on reducing the number of physically inactive people in the sub-region.”
