We are honoured to have three very special patrons who support our work and help spread our word.
Milton Jones

Sophie Christiansen
Paralympic triple gold medallist, Sophie Christiansen CBE, takes a leading role in our advocacy work across East Africa, raising the profile of the rights of children with disabilities. In 2015, she travelled to Rwanda to see our work in action and to meet young disabled children to hear about the difficulties they face. Watch her video on the Guardian website.
