Congratulations to Taiye Aro, who has been awarded Disability Champion of the Month for December 2018.

Shannon O’Neill, the ELFT Disability Network Lead, said, “This is in recognition of Taiye’s proactive contribution to the rebranding of ELFT Ability. Although he is (relatively) new to ELFT (He joined in October!), he jumped straight in to help and his knowledge on NHS branding and accessible communication was vital.”

Taiye was chuffed and surprised to be awarded his ELFTAbility Champion certificate presented by Associate Director of Communications, Steve Gladwin, at the end of a team meeting.

Taiye said “I’m really honoured to get this and was pleased to play my part in helping the Disability Staff Network get the right materials together. Was just doing my job really! Thank you.”

The ELFT Disabled Staff Network will highlight key staff each month who have contributed to a positive culture shift to take the ‘dis’ out of disability at work.
