Get involved
Don’t just agree.
Do something.
Take the quiz, share your experience, invite Harry to speak or bring lived experience into your work. There is more than one way to help create change.
Start where you are
You don’t need to run a campaign to make a difference.
Getting involved can begin with one conversation: address the disabled person first, ask what communication support they prefer and give them time to answer.
You can also share your experience, challenge an assumption, bring lived experience into your organisation or help more people discover the campaign.
“Change begins when somebody stops, listens and asks what you need.”
Break the rules.
Build something better.

Speaking invitations
Invite Harry to your event.
This means inviting Harry to contribute in his own capacity as the founder of Speak To Me and as a disability rights campaigner with lived experience of visual impairment and a learning disability.
An invitation could be for a keynote or short speech, a conference panel, a podcast or media interview, a staff discussion, or a meeting where lived experience should inform decisions.
Topics can include:
- Direct and accessible communication
- Disability inclusion and co-production
- Employment, supported internships and Access to Work
- Being heard in healthcare, education and public services
When emailing, please include: the date, location or online format, audience, what you would like Harry to contribute, accessibility arrangements and whether a speaker fee and expenses are available.
For safety, a private Zoom or Microsoft Teams link will be sent after the conversation has been arranged.
