Dyspraxia Foundation Head Office – Closed
Following Government guidance issued earlier this week, the Dyspraxia Foundation have closed their offices for the health and safety of their volunteers and administration team until further notice. The Hitchin Team will be working remotely from home to ensure our services, news and information continues to be available to our members and our wider community.

We would also like to hear from children with DCD / Dyspraxia but we need to hear from their parents first.
England prop Ellis Genge is the rough diamond from a tough working-class neighbourhood in Bristol
Thanks to Chris Foy in the Daily Mail today for doing a special report on Leicester and England Rugby Union start Ellis Genge, including a quote from our own CEO Eleanor Howes!
Eddie Jones has often depicted Ellis Genge as an emerging rugby role model and he has been heralded as a ‘Robin Hood’ figure following his Calcutta Cup-winning exploits for England at Murrayfield.
The Leicester prop scored the try which propelled his side to victory over Scotland. Then he spoke in typically forthright manner, delivering a riposte to critics of England and those who condemned team-mate Lewis Ludlam for fired-up pre-match rhetoric.
