“I Am ME”<br />
Presented by the BUD Club<br />
This play aims to highlight the barriers,<br />
stereotypes, perceptions and labels young people<br />
with disabilities face, raise awareness of disability<br />
in our community and provide the young people<br />
with a platform to share their real life experiences<br />
of living with a disability. Gavin Melly, Social<br />
Inclusion Manager at the Playtrail states, ““I<br />
am ME” has been a journey, from a simple and<br />
powerful idea that young people with disabilities<br />
should have choice and control over their lives to<br />
enable them to live as full and active members of<br />
our community. The belief in a life of isolation and<br />
dependency is no longer the case, let’s keep this<br />
consigned to history. We are equals, we all need to<br />
respect each other for our differences.”<br />
