Oliver Griffiths
I work with Opening Minds as it empowers me to use what I have learned through my life to make a positive difference for other people.
It gives me the chance to explain the barriers that disabled people experience, share how we overcome them and explain what other people can do to make places more accessible for everyone. Sometimes the smallest actions can bring about the biggest change.
Case studies
Fat Face
National lifestyle clothing and accessory retailer, Fat face, describe a passion for their customers being at the heart of what they do. They believe it’s not simply enough to satisfy their customers, wanting to delight them and give them a fantastic experience - they want to go the extra mile to deliver exceptional service.
Harrogate High
Fitting in is one of the greatest challenges of anyone’s time at high school, and it’s what most young people seek to achieve. At 11 years old children are looking for things they have in common with other people, trying to make friends, be cool, be part of the right group. However, sometimes people can’t help but stand out; because they are physically different, or because they behave differently from other people. We worked with Harrogate High to address those feelings of exclusion and separation. We worked with Year Seven students to look at what unites us rather than divides us.
