Campaign idea: Emily and Tori found independence

Sisters Emily and Tori needed 24-hour support. Moving into their own flats gave them independence, swimming friends, and regular disco nights.

This story

Emily and Tori both have complex needs requiring 24-hour support, but their parents wanted them to avoid residential care and live with independence. In 2016, after years of planning, the sisters moved into their own flats at a supported living service in Tunbridge Wells. Emily now swims twice weekly, where fellow swimmers are learning Makaton to communicate with her, while Tori regularly dances at themed nightclub nights.

What your brand could do

Kit out Emily for her weekly swims at the pool. Host a themed disco night out for Tori.
