We’re back! DS Achieve reopened for the Autumn term last week. We hope you’ve had a lovely summer break and a good return to school, although we’re also aware that both holidays and school restarting can be a very challenging time for many families. If you need any support, please do get in touch.
You’ll recall earlier in the year we announced some exciting people changes which take place this term. Kelly Harris and Michelle Bolton are now Co-Chairing the charity, with former Chair Gillian Warwick-Thompson moving to the role of Treasurer after five years of outstanding and dedicated leadership.
We’re delighted that Fiona Forster has now expanded her Operations Manager role, and that new starter Natalie Fennell joins us as Services Administrator. Please contact Fiona and Natalie on info@dsachieve.org if you have any queries about the day to day running of our services.
We’re also extremely lucky to have our fantastic team and Trustees continuing in their current roles, and we’re recruiting for a new Assistant Leader and Support Worker to assist with running our Young Achievers group. Click here for further details about the roles. If you or anyone you know would like to apply, please get in touch.
