Don’t come on here often- will try to post more. Here’s to a big 2026!

Today I got to talk about my journey and why I campaign and fundraise for Autism and disability awareness to the club I support, Birmingham City FC 💙

Thank you so much for this, I’m so proud to have the squad on my side raising awareness, thank you for having me!

It was great to meet with Councillor Ian Courts and Councillor Karen Grinsell today to talk about my campaign and how we can work together to make awareness, understanding and much more. It was a great discussion and look forward to further collaborations. Thanks! #a4asdawareness #autism #bcfc

We deserve better. We are human too, these cuts will affect so many as well as me so stop treating us like we’re nothing to you. This government is the worst one I’ve ever seen and they need to go.
