All members of the Can Do board are parents or carers of children who come to our clubs and/or youth clubs. This is a truly parent-led charity.

Meet our Board
Alison Staff
Alison says that the best thing about Can Do for her son Harry is that he’s been able to make friends. It’s just fantastic that he’s had the opportunity to get to know other people, not just his family.
Lynne Greenhill
Two of Lynne’s children, Jack and Ellie, have been involved with Can Do. Both children have very different needs and very different personalities but both have benefitted hugely from joining in with Can Do.
Julie Morrison
Julie’s son Coll is autistic and has been going to Can Do since he was 8. Julie was initially fearful about changes in Coll’s routine but he loved playscheme right from the start.
Clemence Lynch
Clemence’s daughter Sarah has been going to playscheme since she was 9. Nowadays Sarah’s a teenager and is a regular at Tuesday night Youth Club where she particularly likes Arts & Crafts.
