As I have had a brain tumour removed, I can sometimes be unsteady on my feet or slur, and then staff of a business think I am drunk, and this is very embarrassing for me and my family. And prevents me from going out...

I haven’t been in a pool for over 40 years. I can’t swim, I have a heart condition, a lung condition and I have epilepsy. All of this alongside a fear of water.

I haven’t known life without pain. I was run over by a car when I was 3 years old, and spent the next 18 months in a coma.

Sometimes it feels like when they gave out disability I got the buffet. 

My body aches because I have fibromyalgia, my joints and muscles don’t do as I say due to my Ehlers Danos (EDS).  I have FND which is Functional Neurological Disorder and means my body and brain can do things that I don’t realise they are doing, from tics to seizures to random movements or even shutting down...

Sarah's Story of Inclusion brought to life by Belgravia Leisure and Belgravia Foundation.

We avoid the shops like the plague, as Henry (autistic), normally is overwhelmed within minutes of arriving. To be honest, sometimes even before we’ve made it through the car park, to get to the shop.

As a family with a neurodivergent child, we tend to avoid going to places, that will overwhelm our son.

We have never been Ten Pin Bowling, because it feels like more of an effort, when we know that our son will be judged for his behaviour, without anyone knowing there are reasons for his idiosyncrasies.

I often let the fear of being judged, hold us back from taking the whole family to places

Lachlan's Story of Inclusion brought to life by TenPin Bowling Australia.

My name is Kellie and I work at Suncity Tenpin and we recently adopted Cérge, a companion app for people with disability. I wasn’t sure how it all worked at first and didn’t think it would do much because we have lots of people with disability come and try Tenpin.

I honestly didn’t see how it would really do anything different for us as staff or the customers.

As a double amputee, swimming can be terrifying. What if I don’t float?

It’s been ten years since I got in a pool, and I had my legs back then. So this is a big deal...

I'd just had an upsetting specialist appointment, and so wasn't really in the mood to push my comfort levels and shop, but I shouldn't have worried.

I was so touched that she'd read my bio, and brought a chair to sit near the exit in case I needed it, that I nearly started crying...
