Speaking for Ourselves podcasts

Scope’s pioneering oral history of people with cerebral palsy, Speaking for Ourselves, broadcast 12 monthly podcasts, thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The podcasts draw upon over 230 hours of recorded testimonies by people with cerebral palsy, aged 50 and over, which have been deposited for public access with the British Library Sound Archive and Wellcome Library.
