Martin Symons

I went to the Disabled Motoring UK Awards on Friday 16th September at the Goodwood Hotel in Chichester. I received the Highly Commended award in the O.A Denly Memorial Award category,

Thanks to whoever nominated me and to Disabled Motoring UK for the Award.

Here's my latest article from Disability Horizons

I have been nominated and shortlisted for the Disabled Motoring UK's O.A Denly Memorial Award. The awards ceremony is on Friday 16th September when the winners will be announced at the Goodwood Revival festival.

On Friday 11th March, I showed the long version of the award winning Short film 'Being Martin' to raise funds for the Boma Appeal. The evening raised £70.

At the end of the evening, Chris Swiff, Founder and Managing Director of Molten Rock who make the Boma announced that I am a proud owner of a Boma for the amount I've raised so far
