August 10 1992. John Burns can still remember the exact day he arrived in London from Dublin with a stack of CVs and one month to find a job.

“Somebody I was at school with in Dublin kept inviting me over to London for a holiday. I was unemployed for a very long time, did a lot of voluntary work but never managed to land the job…

“I went to a job centre and said: “if you can find me a job or an interview, I’m happy to take it.”

Burns’ education and career journey had thus far been atypical as he navigated life with cerebral palsy in a world that was only just shifting towards inclusivity and accesibility.
