Amy is an award-winning charity founder, content creator, and advocate who is passionate about improving the lives of people with disabilities. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 21, I began sharing my experiences through her platform ‘But You Don’t Look Ill‘, raising awareness of invisible conditions and building a supportive online community.
Amy went on to found MS Together, a national charity supporting young people with MS across the UK&I through peer support, events, and mental health services. My interests lie in storytelling, community-building, and driving social change, particularly around disability, inclusion, and representation.
“I’m incredibly honoured to be selected for the Spokesperson Leadership Programme and to be part of a community of individuals committed to driving positive change. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and continue developing my impact.”
