  • Goals and New Experiences

    Created by Martyn.Sibley | 29 March 2012 | 10:27:44

    “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” Robert F Kennedy, 1966

    I remember reading the above quote whilst working at Scope soon after graduating from university. It didn’t resonate immediately, but looking back I can see how both this quote and my time working at Scope had a big effect.

    As the clock ticks around to midnight on the 6th March 2012 in Aviles, Asturias I have been overcome with creative juices. That is the thing I love about travel and new places; it seems to open up your mind and makes you appreciate the finer things in life. It has been 3 days and 2 nights since I arrived, and already I have experienced so much!

  • Changing the world from home

    Created by Martyn.Sibley | 15 February 2012 | 10:54:31

    Whenever I am writing a blog post or a Disability Horizons article I contemplate which topic it will end up covering. The truth is each of them will span multiple aspects of life. In this piece I want to explain the work I have been doing on webinars. More specifically I want to explain what they are, how they are becoming a useful tool for disabled people, and how they enable me to live a healthier lifestyle.

    Following my last blog post explaining the very new and never used before concept of ‘a day in the life of’ (ok so maybe it has been used once or twice), I tried to open up on how many inputs I require, to have the many outputs I enjoy. I also promised the next blog would outline disability as a social problem, discuss some potential solutions for this and the roles we can all play. So, here it is.
