Lucy Davies

Lucy is a wheelchair user and an ambassador of the young people's disability charity Whizz-Kidz. Lucy has been an inspiration to other young disabled people through her campaigning and awareness-raising activities with the charity. She has been the driving force behind a project aiming to inspire other young disabled people to know their rights and stand up for themselves. The project resulted in a moving and inspiring film in which Lucy and her peers shared their own, often difficult, experiences courageously and honestly. Through her involvement with Whizz-Kidz, Lucy's confidence grew, and as part of the project she even 'grilled' the Minister for Disabled People (with Lucy in the photo) about the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. Lucy is an inspiring, passionate and artiuclate champion of young disabled people's rights
