MRS Unlimited is a new network aimed at redefining disabilty
17 June 2021

MRS Unlimited provides a network for those researchers with physical disabilities or who are neurodiverse.

Part of the MRS Inclusion programme, this network is pioneered by MRS Diversity, Inclusion & Equality council members Vanella Jackson and Steve Lacey. The network is initially trying to sound out interested researchers, and define what its aims and objectives should be.

Founder of The Outsiders and Co-Chair of MRS Unlimited Steve Lacey said "As a person with a physical disability and who is neurodivergent, I am absolutely delighted to be part of this wonderful group which will drive change and break down walls that desperately need to be pulled down.”

CEO of Hall & Partners and Co-Chair of MRS Unlimited Vanella Jackson said: “I am very excited to  be launching MRS Unlimited, alongside the brilliant and talented Steve Lacey. We already have a fabulous group of volunteers, all with a hungry ambition to create a difference to the opportunities and inclusion of those with disabilities, seen and unseen. 

We aspire to barrier free inclusion and are committed to creating real change, for our industry, wider business and for society as a whole. If you too share our ambition and want to help us champion disability inclusion, then please do get in touch with Steven or myself and join in.”
