Fantastic opportunity tomorrow for families with Alex Winstanley, Author and Co-Founder and Managing Director of Happy Smiles Training CIC
ITV News is coming!โฆ
โฆ. to film my brand new โDo Disability Differentlyโ book project this Saturday at Leigh Library at 10.30am! ๐ฅ
In partnership with Maddison House Press,
this project means so much to me because the book is being shaped directly by disabled children and young people, sharing real lived experience to help adults, families and professionals better understand disability and neurodivergence ๐
I would absolutely love to see as many families there as possible! The session is completely relaxed and drop-in, so you can pop in anytime between 10am and 12pm and stay for as long or as little as youโd like!
Whether your child wants to chat, draw, share ideas or simply listen, every single voice matters and could help shape a book that creates real change ๐
And honestlyโฆ how amazing is it that local children and young people have the opportunity to have their voices heard not only in a future book, but potentially on TV too! ๐คฉ
If you canโt make it in person, you can still get involved online here:
