Last year, people with a disability or health condition led almost half of all Fun Palace events! 🎉

Including organisations like @headwayelondon. This year, they brought their brilliant cooking skills to their local community for the first time.

#ACEsupported organisations are embedding #ClimateAction in their core.

Thinking about:
