Hello I’m Lindsey and I am a new trustee for Families United. The charity isn’t new to myself and my family, we have been members for some time. When my son Zack was first born he suffered a severe brain injury which led to cerebral palsy and complex needs. Looking for help I found FUN. It was fantastic to meet other parents for support and advice as well as the chance to attend many brilliant events and activities. Sadly our amazing boy passed away in April of this year, his loss has left a large whole in our lives. But I was determined to use all that Zack had taught me and put it to good use, so I approached the trustees with a view to offering some help and assistance. I was delighted when they invited me on board as a trustee and it is an absolute honour that I can help and support this amazing charity. My background is in marketing and public relations so it’s refreshing to put those skills to use (even if they did need a little dusting off). The charity already does great work, it’s a small group of trustees but the effort and focus they have in providing what’s needed for our families in the area is very inspiring. I hope that we can continue to grow the charity and I look forward to growing with them.
