Hi, I’m Eilidh, I’ve lived in Handforth for 21 years. I have 4 children, you’ll often see me pottering around the village with the younger 2! Do give me a wave and say Hi!

For the last 4 years I’ve run a SEND youth group for school aged children in Handforth, I set this up after realising there was very little for my own daughter to do in the local area. Inclusion and fun are 2 things I’m passionate about.

I’m really looking forward to starting my role in October 25 and learning from our amazing members.

Eilidh has started to lead some of our sessions which our members and team are thrilled about.
