MOBILITY TRUST - Key Persons
Denise joined Mobility Trust as Chief Executive in May 2016. Previously an Occupational Therapist practicing in the NHS, she has many years' experience working with Wheelchair Services both in West Berkshire and Central London. She has worked in many different areas during her career as an OT including elderly care, renal, stroke services, neuro rehabilitation and community early supported discharge services for stroke patients.
Denise is passionate about promoting the independence of disabled people through the provision of mobility aids. As NHS supply of powered mobility equipment decreases year on year, she is delighted to be able to help those who have been unable get the assistance they so desperately need elsewhere.
