Our speakers have been busy this last half term sharing their stories in schools across the UK. We loved this feedback from our visit to Ryde Academy - speakers Spike and Luke inspired resilience, and awareness of the achievements people living with a disability are capable of.

Jack spoke at Central Bedfordshire College about ways we cope with challenges and the helpful strategies we use. Discussions are a great way of creating shared knowledge – if your usual go-to coping strategy isn’t working, why not ask a friend what they do and give it a try?

MGR speaker Paul spoke to students The Pilgrim School earlier in the month sharing his story of resilience and over coming his adversity to continue a career that he loves. Could finding what you love to do, evolve into one of your coping strategies? #storytelling #resilience
