The Scope Awards 2025, how we all doing?

00:00:12 Dr Amo Raju
This is one of the only awards that I'm aware of for disability
equality, which champions the efforts of disabled people from all
backgrounds across the UK, and it's it's, as I say, it's a chance to
inspire future generations because what disabled people of the
future need is, role models. They need to see that other people have
have achieved and this is what it's all about celebrating once a year,
an incredible amount of UK's talent.

So the Scope Awards are a brilliant opportunity for us to celebrate
the real influencers around our community. We're making a massive
difference to disability equality. It's a great opportunity to recognise
their achievements and to amplify what they're doing, because we
cannot achieve the scale of change we want to achieve on our own.
It's only by doing these things together.

In a world where the narrative around disability struggles to
separate the dichotomy of disability and inability, I think anything
that can celebrate the achievements of disabled people and the
disabled community and show not only can we do things, but the
things we can do, we excel at.

Programmes like the Assembly are so essential nowadays because
without that representation, and without being shown what we are
capable of, people underestimate us and have all these ideas of
what we can do and the spaces we should be allowed in. When the
most important thing is just letting us show ourselves off and prove
that we are so much more than a label.

People saying, like, giving voice to the voiceless. I think everyone's
got a voice. But I think what scope does is centre voices that aren’t
often listened to, and I think it, I guess it creates a spotlight and
shines a light on the great work that people are doing, a) in the
media industry. But b) in, I guess the disabled community across the
board really.

No matter what you say, what you see in the media, across the pond
or even here in our political scheme, the future could only get
better.

The future can only get better and we are all involved in making the
world a better place.
