Hi, I am Aaron McKenna.

I have been a member of Mencap Liverpool and Sefton for 3 years I have done a lot of things over this time.

I came to Mencap because I am passionate about our equal rights for people with a learning disability and I wanted to be a part of an excellent team and I knew that Mencap was made for me.

While I have been at Mencap in my first year alone, I got involved in lots of fundraising:

• Did the Liverpool Santa Dash and bucket collections – raising lots of money
• Delivered a media course to our members that I had designed and written
• I’ve also
• 5k for 5 days
• John Smiths 5k in Sefton Park
• Zip Wire over Goodison Park
• I have trained as a Boccia England Coach and deliver Boccia to our members
• We are in a Boccia League
• I am on the Mencap Liverpool and Sefton Football team ( which won our first cup in our first tournament!)
• I take part in all of the regular sessions – Gents, Drop In etc
• I have represented Mencap in Parliament
• I have spoken on Radio Merseyside and Radio City promoting Mencap
• I have worked with National Mencap to promote lots of different initiatives – my favourite was The Round the World Challenge
• I do lots outside of Mencap too – I love football and I play for Everton In the Community – and was awarded Managers Player of the Year 2020,
• I played for Liverpool Foundation and represented us in Germany
• I have great connections with local musicians who helped me do my Lockdown Live Event.

My skills are:

• Great communication skills
• Friendly and welcoming to everyone
• Hard working
• Dedicated
• Good time keeping
• Organised
• Social media skills
• Web search
• Computer skills

Please can you vote for me because I will excel in this role of being Chair, also I will make Mencap the best disability charity there is. Plus i will speak up for our members and new members and listen to you and work together to make our Mencap the best Mencap ever.
