Our Leadership team:

Jackie Snape

Chief Executive

I started with the charity in 2001 and became Chief Executive in 2007. Originally trained as a nurse, I have spent most of my working life within management positions in health and social care. DAY is an amazing charity and I feel so proud of the achievements made by the organisation, our customers and our staff.

David Ashton Jones

Operations Manager

I joined Disability Action Yorkshire in 2017 and work with all departments in developing the overall organisational strategy, with a particular focus on assistive technology. I find technology incredibly interesting, and having the ability to assist disabled people in creating solutions for further independence gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

Denise Baynton

Training Manager

I have spent my professional life in roles within training and education, working with a diverse mix of people across a broad range of settings. I am pleased to be able to bring my experience, skills and abilities to Disability Action Yorkshire, and lead the training department to provide bespoke solutions for disabled people, regardless of aspiration.

Karen Minteh

Care and Support Manager

I have spent most of my working life in health and social care, joining Disability Action Yorkshire in 2013. Since then I have worked my way up to managing the care and support services of the charity. No two days are the same and I get immense satisfaction seeing our customers develop their independent living skills.

Steven Taylor

Information and Guidance Manager

I have worked for Disability Action Yorkshire for over 15 years, and through the knowledge gained in this and previous roles, I am now responsible for the information, advice and guidance service. I find it satisfying developing my own knowledge of the issues surrounding disability and passing that on through our valuable service.

Neil Gallagher

Finance Manager

I have spent all of my working life in finance positions within corporate environments and more recently as the Finance Director of a telecommunications organisation. I am excited about my new role at Disability Action Yorkshire and the interesting fresh challenges the role will bring.
