Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE
Appointed: 2015.
Tanni was a Trustee from 2011 to 2015.
She was appointed as a working crossbench peer in 2010 but she is perhaps best known from her days as a Paralympic athlete, winning a total of 11 gold medals in 5 Paralympic games. She retired from competition in 2007, however she still plays an active role in the administration of sport and is regularly seen on television, commenting on events.
I’m a huge fan of Snowdon Trust.
The reality is that we all know this… Disabled people find it harder to get into education, harder to get into work – it is just harder.
Everyone should make the most of the opportunities they have. It’s about having a goal and a dream and seeing what you can achieve.
