So proud to hear about the work our amazing Skin Camouflage Practitioners do for people with visible differences @FaceEquality - offering choice and support to thousands every single day 👏🏽 thank you @thesheff1000 and @mrdanwalker ❤️
This week’s @thesheff1000 money went to @FaceEquality who exist to help anyone who has a visible difference, a scar, mark or condition that makes them look different.
I got to meet Ellie from the charity and she told me how ‘skin camouflage’ works and how they also offer…

"Since my son was born, his condition, positive attitude & experiences have shown me the value of telling stories with characters like him.”
Things we love to see: Disney Junior’s #Firebuds introduces Castor, a character born with a cleft "hood". 👏

"I said yes to this opportunity because 13 year old me would never have dreamt it possible."
Did you see our campaigner, Laura, on the #LFW catwalk last week?
Today, Laura shares her rollercoaster of emotions leading up to the big event.

ALT I had total highs and some pretty intense confidence lows before taking part in yesterday's catwalk. Maybe if at London Fashion Week I see more people, like me, who have long been labelled the wrong fit for fashion, taking to the catwalk with pride, I would have felt less overwhelmed. Luckily, thanks to Victoria, her team, models and sponsors, that is becoming a reality. I, for one, am ready for it.

Dear @BBC & @OnlyConnectQuiz.
We were disappointed and shocked to see scars described as “marks of shame” on your show recently.
There is #NoShame in having a scar.

As both a fan of @OnlyConnectQuiz and as someone who is proudly considered a “BBC Guy” I was very frustrated and disappointed to see this last night. As someone who has sat on many panels on this exact subject - I am forced to ask - have I taught you nothing? #NoShame

What is a shame is that we’re still perpetuating the myth that there's something wrong with visible differences like scars.
We hope you will commit to learning about how to better represent those with visible differences.
