The founding directors came together through shared values and collaborative work within Liverpool's disability community. Christopher and Carina connected with Harin Ellis, a passionate disability rights advocate with cerebral palsy, through two years of campaign work. Their company, Constellation Marketing Solutions, provided pro-bono support for Harin's advocacy, building the trust and shared vision that would become Launchpad Futures.

​

When Harin consulted with Lumiere Charity to develop their fully accessible soft play centre, the collaboration expanded to include Linda Clarke, whose safeguarding expertise and deep understanding of children with disabilities proved invaluable. Kate O'Brien-Fay joined as a director, bringing years of experience in early years development, family support services, and her own lived experience of ADHD. Karen Skaife completes our board, providing independent oversight and financial governance expertise.
