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

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.

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.

I have spent most of my working life in health and social care, joining Disability Action Yorkshire in 2013.

No two days are the same and I get immense satisfaction seeing our customers develop their independent living skills.
