Sophie is passionate about creating change for people with disabilities and campaigns to enable this; she supports multiple charities, is an ambassador for various companies, amongst many other things.

They share their grievances about the need to be gracious when people come across patronising and discuss the juxtaposition of being disabled - being 'inspirational' whilst being vulnerable.
