Disability Culture feedback
Ann-Surprised at how unpoliticised young people are
Also surprisingly Young People could not get their heads around Ann being an employed people ‘which says a lot about their attitudes and aspirations’.
o Free from pressure of Society


Feedback from Jacqui Gittens ( disabled person, mother of three young people)– ‘what I got from the young people was their sense of isolation…
The day itself addressed some of this as people were exchanging details and widening their circle of friends…Text, phone and email networks were popular and this could widen…. The whole atmosphere was one of fun and exuberance and of a thrusting forward’.
