Thank you so much to the awesome team MyVision Oxfordshire for being so engaging at our Physical Disability Awareness Training session today, it was great to hear your thoughts, perspectives and fantastic questions. It is always so inspiring to be in a room where people are so incredibly passionate about true inclusion and real, lived experience. I am so privileged to be able to work with many of you through various pieces of work and it was equally a privilege to meet the rest of the team. I look forward to continuing our work together.

Training with MyVision Oxfordshire
Last week, I was delighted to join Nathan Tree from MyVision Oxfordshire to deliver a full day of training to Connection Support on Disability Awareness and Inclusion. Nathan delivered a fantastic Visual Awareness training session as part of his role at MyVision Oxfordshire. After this, I then delivered my first ever Physical Disability Awareness training. I have written this training and it is based on real, lived experience. We then delivered a joint presentation called 'The Emotional Impact of Disability' which we have written together and again has lived experience at it's heart. It felt really good to deliver my first ever presentation and there is lots of learning I can take from this.
