Hi, You've also got current campaigners for positive change here: Zacky Kerr who is campaigning to increase the number of Changing Places toilets at service stations across the U.K. His blog site is here http://www.changing-places.org/get_involved/read_about_local_campaigns/blogs_by_campaigners/zack_kerr%E2%80%99s_blog-_campaigning_for_changing_places_.aspx His campaigning has taken him to Downing Street and has gathered national attention. Dan White and his daughter Emily who are campaigning for the positive representation of disabled children in comic books via their own work called Department of Ability. https://www.musedcn.org.uk/?s=Department+of+Ability I'm a friend of Dans and Emilys so happy to connect you.
