Please take a moment to learn a bit about our team:
Sue LawsonTrustee and Chairperson
Sue's parents, Edna and Ken Coulbeck, were heavily involved in the Lincolnshire Cerebral Palsy Society after their son, Richard, was diagnosed aged two in 1959. As such Sue has grown up with the Society. Edna and Ken were both very active committee members, and over the years both held the position of Chair of the Society. After her mother passed away in 2017, Sue has been dedicated to keeping the charity running in memory of her family. |
Carrie JensenTrustee, Treasurer & Secretary
Carrie Jensen is a chartered accountant at Forrester Boyd and specialises in the Charity and Academy sector. Carrie has worked professionally with many charities and is looking forward to bringing this experience to the Lincolnshire Cerebral Palsy Society. |
Brenda Dickinson
Trustee and Deputy Chairperson
Brenda became involved with the Society in 1949 after her young son, Mark, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. She remembers how little support there had been in those days when she and her husband would have to drive their son to Sheffield and back weekly as there was nowhere else to get physio in their area. She is proud of the Society's work to open a Child Development Centre in Grimsby, and would like to see more provision for older people with Cerebral Palsy in Lincolnshire. |

Trustee
Helen first approached the Society with her son Callum who has spastic quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. The Society provided assistance where the NHS could not, in acquiring a lycra suit which has helped Callum gain more core stability. Helen has around 15 years medical experience as a nurse and is also studying for a degree in education, putting her in the unique position of being able to provide advice and support from a mum's perspective on any number of challenges that you may face. |
