Valerie Williamson, Paraplegic archery medalist and awarded the British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2020

Amanda Carter Philpott, our Chair, said ‘What can I say about Val?
She is a wonderful advocate, friend and disability activist.
She is a former paraplegic archery champion(twice).
She is a trail blazer, go getter and a woman with an abundance of gumption.
Listen to her story as she chooses to tell it, be moved, even inspired…enjoy!’
