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.
