Hi Katie, Changing Faces has recently created a campaign to raise awareness of the difficulties people have when using public transport, going out and about because of poor attitudes by others on the way they look. The campaign is called Visible Hate which the link is here: https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/campaign/visiblehate It would be worth having a chat with them in relation to the Changing Faces campaign and their work, and maybe a collaborative process relating to this important work?
