I am a Dance student in my second year at college. As part of the course I have had to spend one hour a week in an integrated dance class with young people who have severe mental and physical disabilities.
The class has opened my eyes to what they can do, and how much joy they get out of doing something they love.
Because of this, I applied for, and was given the job of assistant dance teacher at my local council-run arts venue, where I did the same job with a different group of people.
I have grown close to both of my groups and can now see that they are "not just the tree in the corner", but on a stage, can be the brightest star to shine.
The campaign is to get people to see just how much these young people can do, regardless of any conditions or symptoms they might have.
To raise awareness of the abilities of people with mental and physical disabilities, and promote how they learn and grow as individuals.
