The Membership is drawn from a range of West Cumbrian people who are either themselves dyslexic or have family members who are affected. There are also representatives of organisations with whom the WCDA works closely.

From the membership, a management committee is elected annually.

Secretary: Beth Dell is the mother of two dyslexic sons. Beth is the longest serving member of our committee. She has completed the befriending training which enables her to assist parents on the best way to get help for a dyslexic child in school.

Treasurer: Anne Mackenzie has a dyslexic son who was at Sheffield Hallam University where he had support for his dyslexia. Anne is a retired teacher, and is also trained as a befriender.

Del Jones is a teacher trained to work with dyslexic and is the SENCO in the school she works in. Del also has a dyslexic daughter. She has tutored on the Cumbria Advanced Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties CACSLD teachers course.

Carol Dixon is a retired teacher, who has a dyslexic daughter currently studying at Lancaster University. Carol has completed the Cumbria Advanced Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties (CACSLD).

We also have many unsung heroes that come to our aid when they are needed. Thankyou one and all.
