Shortlist Announced
Include Me Too awards will be taking place on the evening of Saturday 28th March 2015 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel. The evening also marks the 25th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child whilst celebrating the journeys and achievements of all the finalists.
This celebratory occasion provides disabled children and young people with a national platform to have their abilities recognised and their families an opportunity to share their personal journeys to increase disability awareness and understanding. Include Me TOO have presented this special event as a ‘Blue Tie’ event’ as the colour ‘Blue’ is to encourage guests to demonstrate their support for Disabled Children’s Rights.
‘We received many nominations from across the country and are delighted to announce the finalists. The Judging Panel shared with us how each nominee had compelling stories and the judges had a difficult task to choose only three finalists for each of the twelve categories. The awards event aim is to inspire inclusion, disability awareness and respect of all abilities.
