This year, we're recognising International Day of Persons with Disabilities by celebrating inspiring stories and building awareness of how to create environments where everyone can thrive.
Hosted by our employee-led Disability Network, as part of Body&Mind at Sky, colleagues tuned in online, and in-person, to an exclusive talk featuring gold-medal-winning Paralympian Melanie Barratt and Danielle Sellwood, filmmaker of the documentary 'Untethered'.
'Untethered', part of Sky Sports’ New Focus Fund initiative, tells the inspiring story of Melanie’s journey to become the first blind woman to swim the English Channel. After 20 years of tethered, solo training in a small pool, Melanie embraced the challenges and exhilaration of open-water swimming, achieving a groundbreaking milestone.
You can celebrate and learn more with our 'International Day of People with Disabilities' collection, featuring 'Untethered' and a host of amazing film and TV now.
