Twenty five years at Disabled Living for our Chief Executive Debra Evans!

Everyone at Disabled Living celebrated twenty five years of Debra's commitment to Disabled Living, during which she has reimagined what the charity can do. 
Debra says:

"I can’t believe I have worked for Disabled Living for 25 years. The charity has changed dramatically from what it was then to what it is now.

Everyday I learn something new, I meet amazing people and look forward to developing new services with a team I am very proud to be working with."
