“Yesterday I had the absolute privilege of meeting Benny, who delivered the most interactive and intimate workshop on disability. We got to experience seen and unseen disabilities and ask the uncomfortable questions. It was a truly valuable session and one that with shape heats and minds and fill our teams learning strategy. If you are passionate about driving inclusion within your business and are looking to upskill your teams awareness of different types of disabilities I cannot recommend the Blue Badge Bunch with Benny Shakes enough!” Jessica, EssilorLuxottica

“We can’t speak highly enough of Blue Badge Bunch’s work. It’s important to show that people with disabilities are part of society. We live in communities where people have diverse preferences and identities. Activity such as this creates cohesion by creating conversation around difference in a light-hearted and open way.” – Leicester Libraries

“ You absolutely made the day and from what we’ve heard everyone really enjoyed [it]. We’ve heard from one very senior person that they actually cancelled meetings to stick around to listen, the comedian’s chat was that interesting.” ITV Able

“Benny has an amazing story to tell and he lives this story out in his humour, fun and being true to who he is. Whenever, anyone listens and joins in with Benny they come away having caught some of his infectious personality” Valley CiDS
