A diverse new group of Mencap ambassadors is aiming to create better representation for the 1.5 million people who live with a learning disability in the UK. Their campaign called The Myth Busters aims to challenge misconceptions and stigma as well as pushing for greater inclusion of people with a learning disability. By including a dancer, an actor, a model, a football coach and skater, the charity hopes to demonstrate just how unique learning disability is and how everyone in the community deserves to be equally seen and heard.
