East Grinstead Courier & Observer and article reads:
Parents of children with cerebral palsy got a dream makeover at a unique charity event last Thursday.
A number of disabled teenagers were also treated to new haircuts and make-up at the East Grinstead Advance Centre.
The event was put on by Models of Diversity, which campaigns for more diversity among models. Founder Angel Sinclair, who was recently appointed vice president of the Advance Centre, said: “It is very important that people recognise the hard work that carers put in – they are the forgotten heroes. This is a way for us to give something back to the parents, to make them feel good about themselves.”
The Charity uses the Scotson Technique, a drug-free respiratory-based exercise for brain injured children developed by Linda Scotson.
Mrs Scotson, who was also at the event, said: “It was lovely for the parents to all meet each other and get made up, and we have decided we are going to do this every year now. I think this is the start of a fantastic relationship between us.”
Radio Interviews
Linda Scotson, Angel Sinclair and Carla Nunes were also interviewed, live, on BBC Sussex and Surrey Radio and the subject of disabled models, more diversity in the fashion industry and what being beautiful really means, despite a person's physical appearance or level of ability, was a topic of discussion for the radio station, with phone-ins included, virtually all day long!
