In the eighth episode of Speak Up! By Smiley Movement, we're bringing together three incredible activists to talk about how accessible (or, well, not) our world is today, how we can change that - and why it's so important that we do.
We were joined by; Lizzie Acker, Great British Bake Off 2021 contestant and neurodiversity champion; Jay Howard, Married at First Sight UK cast member and ambassador for REACH charity; and Darren Harris, dual Paralympian, charity patron and motivational speaker.
Together with our incredible panel, we discussed how public opinion on disability has changed, barriers to work, and how we can make help make the world more accessible for all disabilities.
