Last year, we were joined by individual member, Christopher Burns. He has taken on our volunteer role of Artist in Residence, documenting our discussions and developing creative approaches to our activism.
“The year has been one of discovery and achievements. In many people’s eyes disability is still seen as not human and it won’t be easy to change minds which haven’t had direct experience of diversity. In imagination though hope is never lost”
Christopher Burns.
