Happy to support this great campaign from Changing Faces, UK - well done to everyone involved. Take a look 👇 and please support and sign the Changing Faces Pledge:
Hey brands 👋 We've got a face for radio, TV, catwalks, advertising and everything else! Nearly one in five people in the UK have a visible difference, so where is this representation when it comes to TV, film, or brand advertising campaigns? Our research finds that 54% of people with a visible difference say that brands regularly ignore them. And 64% say that adverts do not represent people with visible differences well. That’s why we're calling on brands to feature more people with a visible difference in their marketing and advertising – ending the lack of understanding and stigma that people face on a daily basis. We’re aiming to unite as many brands, agencies and media partners as possible. It’s time to make visible differences, more visible. If representation matters to you, share our campaign film with the company you work for and with, and encourage them to sign our Changing Faces Pledge: https://lnkd.in/dghziE8T

“I am incredibly proud to be part of an organisation that prioritises inclusivity and makes reasonable adjustments to meet the diverse needs of our community." - Michael Cobden, West London NHS Trust Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Therapist. Our Talking Therapies Service in Ealing recently helped set up an incredible moment. Our client, Scheneza, who has shown incredible courage through her recovery journey, met her lifelong inspiration—Katie Piper. Scheneza has faced unimaginable challenges: a life-changing car accident that left her with permanent facial scarring, the loss of her mother, and a battle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression. As a Deaf woman reliant on British Sign Language (BSL), she has also overcome communication barriers that often compounded her struggles. Thanks to the dedicated support of Michael, and the compassion of the Katie Piper Foundation, this meeting marked a turning point for Scheneza. Katie Piper OBE’s encouragement and shared experiences as a survivor deeply inspired her. Together, they shared stories of strength, helping Scheneza embrace her scars as part of her powerful journey. Today, Scheneza is thriving; she plans to launch her own business and pursue a modelling career this year. This story is a testament to the power of talking therapies and the importance of accessible care for all, including those in the Deaf community.
