Our very own author Nigel Hollins has been named a Learning Disability and Autism Leaders’ List 2022 Finalist in recognition of his outstanding achievements in their Work and Education category.
We nominated Nigel for the award for all his work for Beyond Words over the years. With our Founder, Professor Sheila the Baroness Hollins, he helped lay the foundations for visual literacy to be recognised as the powerful tool for understanding and wellbeing it is.
Nigel has been part of so many exciting projects at Beyond Words, even co-authoring our popular book The Drama Group alongside actor Hugh Grant. He has provided his experience and expertise to many of our books, initiatives and resources, including running his own book club near his home in Surrey.
We are delighted that he has been nominated for this prestigious award and look forward to the award ceremony where the winners will be announced on Friday 2nd December.
