Feedback
“We’ve only had positive feedback from Laurence’s performance and it was certainly a great way to end the conference. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate recommending Laurence to colleagues for any events they might be organising.” Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru
“Many thanks for coming up to our festival and for doing such a great job.” Equality and Human Rights Commission
“It was a brilliant 20 minutes and the feedback has been great – a lot of people have said it was their favourite part of the programme.” Newham Coalition of Disabled People
“Both the staff and the student feedback was fantastic … they really loved it. Laurence made an impression on a number of levels – first and foremost as just a funny guy but also, for these young students, a challenge to their perceptions of disability.” Ashton 6th Form College
“I would just like to put in writing a huge thank you to you. The conference has been a success and this is partly due to your great contribution to it. Many people have commented on how much they’ve enjoyed listening to you and will remember the event for it! My colleagues in SDSS and I are very happy with the day and very grateful for your role in leading us through it.” Self-Directed Support Scotland
