Ade Adepitan MBE

"I first got involved with Scope when they asked if I would speak at a conference about my experience as a disabled pupil in a mainstream school. I've now been a Scope Patron for over eight years and their work is still fundamental to changing society's attitude towards disabled people, whilst supporting them and their families. Like me, I know they have some exciting plans coming up, especially in 2012 and I look forward to continuing to work with them."
