Media opportunity for young disabled people
ODI has been contacted by a Researcher at Ricochet television who make a broad range of programmes from pure documentaries like Channel 4’s Born to be Different, through to large scale award winning formats like Supernanny.
They have interest for a documentary series focused around young adults with a disability who are on the hunt for a likeminded care worker/ personal assistant. They want to hear a little bit about them, their interests and also their experiences with care workers/ personal assistants in the past.
Are you 18-35?
Are you in the process of employing a care worker/personal assistant with similar interests and hobbies to yourself?
Would you be willing to talk about your previous experiences with care workers/ personal assistants?
If so, UK based Television Company Ricochet are looking to speak with young adults with a disability who are on the hunt for a likeminded care worker/ personal assistant. We want to hear a little bit about yourself, your interests and also your experiences with care workers/ personal assistants in the past.
