It’s been a busy month but we’re here to celebrate Pride month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Toby Fells set up Queer Runnings after feeling that, as a transman, there was no place for him within the predominantly cisgendered trail running community. To hear from Toby, head to our Instagram! #pride

Last month we were honoured to give a lecture to the Innovation Design Engineering Masters students at the @RCA and @imperialcollege. A special thank you to lecturer Audrey Gaulard for making it happen - we hope that everyone who took part had as much fun as we did!

Last December we celebrated International Day of Disabilities with Jaguar Land Rover’s ‘Shine Network’, a network dedicated to disability. We were honoured to take part, it truly makes us excited to see one of the UK’s big business players so committed to their diverse workforce.
