Say Hello To Our Staff & Trustees


Graham Day
At the beginning of 2020, Graham and a working group of disabled people and council officers joined forces to create a new Deaf and Disabled People's Organisation in Haringey. Graham was not only one of the first Trustees, but is also currently Chair, a job which includes many daily challenges. Graham’s passion is championing the voices of disabled people in Haringey, and he is eager to get DAH off the ground. In his personal time, Graham plays wheelchair tennis at the local sports centre.
