Speaking Events
“We believe in the power of story-telling“
Being real and honest about the joys and challenges of parenting a child with complex disabilities has had a profound impact. To date Rachel has spoken in Parliament, national and international conferences, private company events and for local churches and charities. Now Joanna Holmes joins the team as we endeavour to reach more people bringing humour, clinical evidence and the heart beat of family life into speaking events.
For policy makers, informing them to better understand the impact of their work.
For charities to center the lived experience of the families they support.
For commissioners, to connect the lived experience of the families they support with research and solutions to improve services
For practitioners, to shape their communication and co-productive practice through research and hearing the heart of a family’s story.
For parents, to feel connected and a little less alone.
For everyone else, understanding a little of what happens behind closed doors in order to stimulate kindness, understanding and a little more acceptance.
A Little Bit More About Rachel Wright…
“After writing, The Skies I’m Under, our story and my passion for effective communication, co-production and community has been shared in Parliament, local, national and international conferences. Whether on local or national radio, TV (TBN) or in person, I am passionate about going beyond the story-telling of lived experience into actionable solutions driven by research and evidence.
Every person has a story and those with profound learning disabilities rely on allies to share their story. People and services can be transformed by these stories when connected with data and delivered in a way which not only inspires change but equips practitioners to deliver it.”
