Diversity and Inclusion
Committee Member - Lindsey Parkinson
'There is a place for everyone in the world. When you find yours, your heart will call it home….the home that is Ballyrusley Stables. As a mummy of a child with autism and complex medical needs I absolutely understand the importance of every child having a place where they are nurtured, accepted and encouraged to be the absolute very best version of themselves. Inclusivity and education are top of the list here at Ballyrusley for both our adults and kids. Part of my role as committee member is to ensure we meet the needs of every single child. My experience enables me to ensure that each child's needs, whether they be sensory, communication, social or otherwise are met and there are no barriers to any child reaching their full potential within our Ballyrusley Team.'
Lindsey as a valued committee member ensures our policies and procedures are inclusive for our community as a whole. Her open mind and open heart could teach us all a thing or two.
