Informing Plus Value Awareness at events



Sharing the Plus Value Awareness at regional awareness events.
Recent developments of spreading the word on plus value awareness at two different awareness events in the region.


One of the two events attended at Autism Central which is organised by Queen Alexandra College which took place at the Aston Villa Football Ground in Birmingham. This event Showcases products and service providers focusing on the lies which affects the autistic spectrum. 

The other event was a "disability hate crime awareness event call "Say No to Hate Crime" which was organised by West Midlands Police along with several local agencies in the Sandwell area. This took place at the West Bromwich Town Hall.

The Autism Central event wasn't just a showcase our providers and product makers but the event also hosted a number of seminars throughout the day. One of the seminars featured was an experience from an autistic adult who had gained many achievements including claiming international sporting achievements with the Special Olympics leading to a silver medal for tennis.

Meanwhile the disability hate crime event was highlighting what was on offer from the local providers providers who attended. 

At both events I have shared about the plus value awareness initiative emphasising the overall aim along with a family of proposed services and possibilities. He also said examples on existing products projects and the issues covered.

The feedback from the both events emphasise that there is a need for this initiative as they are a gap on what is needed which enables various people with invisible later difficulties to move forward.

It is a collection of projects and campaigns towards a smarter sense of value towards independent Young People & Adults with invisible related difficulties (including Autism, ADHD. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Social Anxiety) The initiates highlights issues and solutions focusing on the human aspects rather than the medial approach.

My main website has returned online

This was caused by an online image library provider blocked all my images and templates, unannounced with no prior warning.

New changes added
The Navigation has changed focusing on the achievement categories and the main features:

A brand new feature "Information and about" with key links to pages such as about me, associated achievements and many more. This replaced the feature Information & Achievement

The Main Features has changed and features the Fever blog, One Vision and Publications

The content within the previous features "Projects & Initiatives" and "Networking Connect" has moved within the category sections. The Visual Showcase feature is now fully part of Creative.

It will take a period go time to completely restore all the images that were blocked and to add all the templates and the footer graphics to every page. So there are will be certain pages with no images or certain pages with no footer templates for the time being.

A huge amount of time has been taken to make sure to restore this website along with images and templates as much as possible, therefore the website cannot be the responsibility for any errors which may occur
Please note the websites Differences & Autism Challenge and Plus Lifestyle is currently unavailable. I have decided to build a brand new Differences & Autism Challenge website in the near future.
