An insight on changing perceptions

Support statement from Keith Mckenzie, Project Director

We need to stop the culture to disbelieving and demonlising and think on the implication ill-informed judgements. Perceptive attitudes must be confronted and challenged, no matter how popular the voices are.


We must disccourage hostility and trivial attitudes. Anyone with an invisible disability should not be made to be shameful for existing in society and the circumstances they face.
Every experience should be valued and represented well regardless of how unique or unfamiliar.
