Rainbow Hub, a Mawdesley based charity supporting children and young people with physical and neurological disabilities, has announced their new Chief Executive.

Lyndsay Fahey, from Lostock Hall, Preston, will be taking on the role with immediate effect.

Lyndsay has been Interim Chief Executive since June last year and has been leading the charity through the difficult months of 2020. She has a very close connection with the charity, as her own daughter has benefited from their help.

She has extensive experience in the public sector including previous roles as Head of Strategic Development and Finance and Head of Fund-raising at Rainbow Hub.

Bill Ainscough, President of Rainbow Hub, said: “Lyndsay has years of experience, both as a fund-raiser and a parent whose child has benefited from the services provided by Rainbow Hub.

“She is well placed to lead the charity in these continued uncertain times and develop our services as we move towards a brighter future. The Board is looking forward to supporting her and the team over the coming years.”
