Challenge NOT Accepted

Refusing to silently accept the many barriers that society can place on disabled young people, we say "Challenge NOT Accepted!"

We’re excited to launch our 'Challenge NOT Accepted' campaign video!

Our young people are taking centre-stage to CHALLENGE the assumptions that they can’t do things, showing instead how they CAN take risks, speak up, express themselves, and join in.

Voiced by our Ambassador Aaron Phipps MBE PLY and young people, we say a huge thanks to them and the families involved who helped tell the world "Challenge NOT Accepted"!
