Peter’s story

“I thought you might like to know that the prizes have proved to be hugely motivational for me. As someone with a disability who also experienced a horrible episode of COVID-19 in March, writing pieces for the awards has given me a motivational focus, and helped discover a new kind of writing I have never done before. It has helped me emerge from a trough of despond, and a very difficult time of severe health problems. My big challenge is what to do next, once the awards are over!”
