Facilitator
Chandos Green MA, a dedicated advocate for disability and mental health, underwent a profound transformation following his diagnosis of a brain tumour and mental health challenges. Drawing inspiration from his personal journey, he collaborates with diverse organizations to drive meaningful change within the landscape of disability rights in the United Kingdom.
While pursuing studies in Social Work, Chandos co-founded a Community Interest Company (CIC) to conduct empowering workshops for young people. Post-graduation and amidst a global pandemic, this initiative temporarily took a back seat to allow Chandos to prioritize his health.
Undeterred, Chandos recently earned a Master’s degree in Human Rights and Global Ethics from the University of Leicester. Bolstered by this academic achievement and his steadfast commitment to advocacy, he successfully relaunched the CIC in collaboration with a fellow mental health advocate.
Beyond his work with the CIC, Chandos actively engages as a disability advocate, delivering guest lectures at various universities, schools, and organizations. His focus centers on promoting the Social Model of Disability and offering practical insights on integrating this model into everyday practices. Chandos strives to create a more inclusive and understanding society by championing the rights and well-being of disabled people
