Teach Us Too are honoured to have Ellise Hayward as our latest charity trustee.  Ellise is passionate about equal opportunities for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and understands, from a first person perspective, what is possible with the right support.

My name is Ellise Hollie Hayward and I have cerebral palsy. I am a non-verbal motivational/public speaker. I am a confident, passionate young woman who aims to educate people about disability and inclusion.

I am an EDI Ambassador at Ashton Park School as well as the Disabilities Editor and a Patron for The Jill Dando News Centre, part of The Priory Learning Trust.

My aim is to level the playing field and bring equality and inclusion in education, healthcare and workplaces. I'm very proud to take on the position of a trustee for Teach Us Too to ensure all individuals are able to learn to read and write, I believe we deserve the same opportunities as everyone else in schools.
