Very proud of 2019 BFS graduate, Tom Richer, who came to BFS with a beautiful side project, which has now officially launched! Check it out: https://www.thebridgebetween.uk/ - an inclusive initiative promoting creativity in accessible ways for neurodiverse and/or disabled siblings.
Listening this morning to @BrixtonFSchool 's supporter's talk - and getting inspired to do more and more and more to improve accessibility to the creative industry.

Students from the ace @BrixtonFSchool talk about how adland can be more accessible, inclusive & respectful. This issue's been going on since I was starting out [23,000 years ago] so when will we as an industry start listening rather than pretending to. https://tinyurl.com/y3xkw386
An open letter to #adland written by 3 of our BFS graduates @Mahalia_Peake @kristinanova_ and Melanie Nogueira. THANK YOU to @LBBOnline for publishing! 5 solid action points for adland to seriously consider and... ACT on!
