Pupils at Endeavour School have taken part in a project designed to change people's attitudes on disability.

Four youngsters from the Beverley Road school, in Hull, have made a film and produced professional posters as part of the project.

Their film is a powerful two-minute shoot which they have called See Me Not the Chair.

In it, Endeavour pupil Wesley Trowell, 16, delivers a message of "enable me – don't disable me".

Wesley suffers from cerebral palsy and uses a communication aid to talk.

The pupils got involved with the project through an initiative called ACE (Achieve Contribute Experience).

ACE is a project for people aged 16 to 25 to get involved in volunteering and is funded by independent charity V.

The new scheme, run by Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, organises three-month projects for youngsters.

The pupils decided they wanted to do their project on disability and spent two afternoons per week for three months working on the film and the messages they wanted to get across.

They included 'just because he is in a chair we don't exclude him' and Wesley's own thoughts on how he believes people see him and how he sees himself.

Margaret Wilcock, learning support assistant at Endeavour said: "When Wesley first came we had all these issues which the children have raised in their campaign.

"Because of people's willingness to get to know him, a lot of those barriers have been overcome at Endeavour and everyone here is richer for him being here.

Amy Stephenson, 16, told the Mail: "I enjoyed everything about the project. It has helped me be more confident and I have gained the ability to work more with disabled people."

The pupils' efforts are now on YouTube and they were also invited to the Scope offices in London to show their film.

Wesley said: "The importance of this project was to change people's attitude and fears over disabled people.

"The project helps people see me as a person and not as a disability."
