Aaron Phipps MBE, competes on the world stage as a Paralympian. He pulled himself from an impossible situation as a teenager to become the best in the world in what he does.
He is a keen charity fundraiser and in 2016, set himself the biggest challenge yet – to scale MT Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair.
He has been ranked in the top 100 most influential people in the UK with a disability, and his story moves audiences across the globe.
Madeleine Black is an author, speaker, sexual violence activist, former psychotherapist and hosts her podcast show called “Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling”
After decades of silence, Madeleine decided to share her own story publicly online in September 2014 and she completely underestimated what the response would be.
She is passionate about speaking out to end the shame, stigma and silence surrounding sexual violence and to help others find their courage and voice too.
