Meet The Leadership Team
Meet the people leading Basically Cheer CIC. Lianne, Amy and Zoe are passionate about creating an inclusive, welcoming community where everyone feels they belong. Together, they oversee the CIC's vision, support our volunteers and help ensure the hub continues to grow for the benefit of our local community.
While our leadership team has evolved over the years, our mission has remained the same—to create a bright, fun and supportive space where people of all ages and abilities can make friends, build confidence and feel part of something special.
