I love my bin wagons!!!! 18 months ago I organised for 30 refuse wagons to display the ‘Switch onto Women’s Safety’ campaign info so women all over Leeds could get help they needed. Love seeing the bin wagon on my street (&another at the traffic lights yesterday!)

Highlight of the week is definitely filming my story of setting up Emily: Autism and Me and the support I have received. Can't wait to see the finished product! #ActuallyAutistic #DisabilityPrideMonth
