Rainbow Hub, the Mawdesley based charity supporting children and young people with physical
and neurological disabilities, has announced the appointment of Lyndsay Fahey (age) from
Lostock Hall, Preston, as the Chief Executive with immediate effect.
Lyndsay has been Interim Chief Executive since June last year when Carole Cochrane left to return
to her planned retirement in Spain and has been leading the charity through the difficult months
of 2020.
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 benefitted 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.”
Lyndsay Fahey said, “I am delighted to take up the position of Chief Executive at Rainbow Hub. It
is close to my heart and has been a great support to me on a personal level in the past. There is a
wonderful staff team, together with some amazing volunteers, supporters and Trustees. I am looking
forward to working with everyone to make Rainbow Hub the centre of excellence for children with
disabilities and their parents and I would like to thank our President Bill Ainscough and the Board for their
confidence in me.”
