The DDH UK Team

Natalie Trice_mg_5370_small
DDH UK Founder
With a background in the broadcast, media and not-for-profit sectors, Natalie has big plans for DDH UK. The charity has been inspired by her son, Lucas, and she wants to ensure no other parent has go through the anguish she did in the early days post-diagnosis in 2009. As well as running DDH UK, Natalie is also on the Advisory Board for the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and is the Author of Cast Life, A Parent’s Guide to DDH. Whilst DDH UK is based in England, Natalie is creating a global hip family and works with other organisations around the world.

Lucas Trice, AKA Spica Warrior
11986498_10153014555105906_6167353293507571469_nHe might only be seven, but Lucas is an integral part of the charity, and the inspiration behind our work. The Trice family will never know what life would have been like had Lucas not had DDH, but they do know that the lives of many people around the world are being changed because of it. Spica Warrior was the original name of the organisation, and he is now the charity mascot.

Karen Kerr
DDH UK One to One Support Buddy 
Karen is a key part of the team. Karen’s daughter, Lauren, was a classic late diagnosis and has more operations than most, which means she came to us armed not only with a huge amount of experience but also, knowledge and empathy. As our one-to-one support, Karen is a life line to parents and an invaluable  social media admin.


Mr Alex Aarvold, BSc(Hons), MBChB, FRCSEd(Tr&Orth), DM, MFSTEd 
Consultant Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeonalex
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
Alex is a much valued and vital member of the DDH Team. Based in Southampton he is not only on the frontline of working with patients and families but also works on a variety of research projects. Having Alex on board means we are up to date with medical details and our information is correct.
