The Fellowship Awards:

The Ability Media Fellowshis are presented to two individuals who have demonstrated, or fostered, outstanding and sustained artistic excellence which is inclusive, inspirational and outstanding. Fellows today have been chosen from across the media industries and we are delighted that they have honoured us with their acceptance of the highest recognition Ability Media has to offer.

"I think everybody, whatever their disadvantages, needs to work or contribute in some way in order to feel valued by society. That is why I am deeply honoured to have been awarded the Ability Media International Fellowship Award. I know that there are many people out there who are far more deserving of this award than me which makes me even more grateful. Many thanks to everybody involved.” Sue Townsend
