Nick Sayers, Ambassador shared what equality and diversity mean to him, at our 2018 conference, with his own poem that he performed in the morning plenary.
"I am an Ambassador, a worker and a volunteer. Being an Ambassador means I sometimes give talks with Alex who is the boss of Shared Lives Plus. Being an Ambassador and being a boss are different jobs but they are both important. I am happy to be different from Alex. We are different but we are equal. He is Alex and I am me. And this is my poem about equality.
I have never wanted to be anyone else
I am far too happy being me
All the things I can do.
If someone says to me
“ You can’t go there Nick”
I just reply
“Then help me find a way”
I can
because I want to
and they do
and I can be
That’s Equality for me."
