Hayley Smith and Mark Aliston are employed by Essex County Council as Health Access Champions and William Westbrook us a member of Essex People’s Parliament in Essex. They all volunteered to be actors for the Access to Health film brochures. This was important because it was felt people watching the films could relate to Hayley, Mark and William.
The film brochures have been distributed to residential homes, hospitals and individuals across Essex.
The films can also be found on YouTube at the following addresses:

This is fantastic for the people involved as the film brochures won their category at the National Learning Disabilities and Autism award 2018.
