    Clare Gray 1969-2023 Clare Gray, disability advocate and campaigner, died on Tuesday 3 October, following a short illness. Clare was hugely well regarded for her advocacy work and involvement in the Disability Power 100. 1/
    Clare , a white woman with short blonde hair, is sat in her wheelchair with her arms folded, she is dressed in black and looks out of the black and white photo with a smile. A quote from Clare is included “If you inspire people to make change, and to change their attitudes, to change their thoughts about disability…. I’m okay with that. Because it makes me feel that I’ve done good. I’ve done well for other people.”

    We are saddened to hear that Lucy Watts MBE has passed away. Lucy's disability, health and palliative care activism supported people across the globe. She showed that disability or life-limiting illness is not a barrier to achievement, and her legacy will live on.@LucyAlexandria
