Gavin Neate - Founder of WelcoMe - a World First
Mary Fickling and Gavin Neate became friends in July 2021 when Gavin was the only person to come forward with the answer to a question on the subject of hidden disability she raised on Twitter. Since then, they have happily worked together on several blogs, which bring alive Gavin's thoughts and visions for a truly accessible future for all.
