26 Oct: Big Challenge - Big Society

Big Challenge Youth Leadership Team member Tom Callow twittered Lord Speaker John Bercow’s wife to have a word. Result. Parliamentary reception for Big Challenge winners hosted at Lord Speaker’s House.

Big Challenge is a project of UnLtd and Changemakers, funded by V and Vodaphone.

The first person I met at the reception was Dame Maggie Turner, Director of The Diana Award. Our group uses the Diana Award Channel at Radiowaves as a platform for our campaigns and we have had a lot of support from Maggie and the team. www.diana-award.org.uk and www.radiowaves.co.uk/r/mbr

We shared from our project The Language Stealers animation, our newsletter Let's FaCE It! and our Core Words Language Mates. I displayed the ‘I Love AAC’ banner to tie in with Judy Bailey and Everyone Communicate’s AAC Visibility Project http://aacvisibilityandawareness.blogspot.com/
