There's a lovely campaign running at the moment for Leonard Cheshire Disability, a charity that provides care and support for people in any way disabled and also campaigns to change attitudes towards disability.
Launched last week and featuring currently in bus shelters across Edinburgh (and probably everywhere else too), the campaign stars animals created by Aardman Animations observing that their disabilities don't stop them living a perfectly normal life.
The posters are charming and engaging. And caught my eye because they neatly side-step the problem of featuring photography and thus immediately pigeon-holing people. But I discover now that they have a rather fine website too. In another nice touch, they have the 'back stories' of all of the characters here. A great way of bringing the campaign message to life.
