The DSA have presented a wheelchair to the club and been actively involved with the introduction of the sensory room. The DSA regularly communicate and engage with its members, holding regular online coffee mornings with raffles and donated hampers to DSA members in June 2020. The DSA and its members regard themselves as a “DSA happy family” and their door is always open for members even if they just want a chat.
