A team of Fixers from Kent, tired of being ignored, stared at and interrupted, have helped create a poster campaign urging people not to treat those with disabilities differently.
The group from Orpington, who live in supported accommodation provided by Sanctuary Housing, all have learning disabilities and some of them use wheelchairs.
Led by 26-year-old* Holly Pace, their message is treat disabled people as you would want to be treated.
‘I feel like people aren’t aware of disabilities,’ says Holly.
‘So, we wanted to change that. I don’t think people understand what it’s like to be disabled.’
Each member of the group has had negative experiences which they believe to be as a result of able-bodied people being ignorant of their disabilities.
