Press Release – New Trustees
The Dyspraxia Foundation is delighted to welcome two new Trustees to our Board, Laurence Turner and Jake Hobson. Both Laurence and Jake have dyspraxia.
Laurence will be responsible for overseeing Public Affairs and supporting the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Dyspraxia.
Stay home and join us online TONIGHT Wednesday 6th May from 7.45pm (8pm start) for our first ever front-room fundraiser. The Lockdown Dyspraxia Quiz is a great way to get together and test your knowledge against family, friends and strangers - from a distance.
As you are well aware, many fundraising events in the UK have been postponed or cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Whilst we are all hopeful many of these will still go ahead later in the year, we’ve been left struggling to maintain our crucial services with reduced funding.
We’re calling on you to take on the challenge so together we can continue supporting our community and their families. Join the nation in this challenge on Sunday 26 April, which would have been the London Marathon. The challenge will be open after 26 April if you can’t do it on this day!
