`Don`t put us away` by a very talented man with learning disabilities

`Don`t Put Us Away` by Richard Keagan-Bull,

The memories of a very special man with learning disabilities.

We have known Richard Keegan-Bull for many years, since he started at the Derwen College when he was about 18.  Since then, Richard has gone on to achieve great things, like travelling to several countries where he appeared on TV and spoke to very large groups.

Now Richard has written his life story, exactly as he told it to Hazel Bradley, his amanuensis, or secretary, as he calls her. 

"An ordinary Man who has written an extroardinary book" which was launched in the House of Commons.

See the attached flyer. 

Next month, Richard and Hazel are coming to Shropshire to visit the Derwen College, for Richard to catch up with old friends and to give a talk to the students about his achievements.

Members of the public will be welcome to come to Richard`s talk

at 4pm in The Derwen Students Union - Please book with Eluned Watson, Marketing & Press Officer at The Derwen
