A growing North West-based children’s charity with big plans to expand its services UK-wide is seeking Directors and Trustees from the Business sector.

If you are looking for a new challenge and to ‘give something back to the community’, why not see how your skills could help Chamber member Legacy Rainbow House to develop its services and improve its performance.

The Legacy Rainbow House specialises in providing services for children with brain injuries, disabilities and life limiting conditions. We are currently creating and implementing new innovative services to meet the needs of children, young people and other families, through rehabilitation, therapy, education and recreation, built on a philosophy known as Conductive Education.

If you have skills or contacts that could benefit our charity please get in touch.  We are seeking advisors in the areas of business management, finance, health & medicine, human resources, education, sport, law, marketing and more.  The commitment is not onerous as Directors meet only four times a year.

For information on becoming a Director contact Tracy Daglish on 01704 823276 or email t.daglish@thelegacy-rainbowhouse.com or visit our website, www.thelegacy-rainbowhouse

Impro’ for Everyone

This class is for anyone who would like to lose their inhibitions, be more spontaneous or  improve  their confidence  in an entirely  fear-free environment.  Starting with  the simplest games, you will quickly and effortlessly develop your  skills until before you know it, you will be improvising the blues, inventing terrible jokes – which get laughs!
