An inspirational teenager from Malmesbury has been chosen as a poster boy for a worldwide campaign.

Jonathan Bryan, aged 13, is one of twelve young people from across the world to take centre stage for Diana Award's Change_Maker campaign.

The campaign kicks off their 20th anniversary year to drive a new wave of nominations from across the world for an award in memory of Princess Diana.

Born with severe cerebral palsy, kidney failure and supplemental oxygen dependency, Jonathan was misdiagnosed as having profound and multiple learning disabilities, despite nobody being able to fully communicate with him.

But three years ago his mother Chantal began teaching him basic reading, writing and maths, and Jonathan soon made rapid progress.

Jonathan uses a alphabet board to spell out everything he wants to write and say.

Since then, he has launched his own book titled Eye Can Write at Waterstones Piccadilly with a forward from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

He was also himself awarded the Diana Award by Prince Harry and Prince William after he campaigned for the rights of disabled people to be taught equally.

Jonathan said: "Receiving my Diana Award gave my campaign a greater exposure to a wide audience, and gave me opportunities to spread my message further.

"With Diana’s legacy I am building my own as I seek to be a voice for the voiceless.”

Tessy Ojo, CEO of The Diana Award, added: “The stories of the twelve young people, taking part in this campaign to mark our 20th anniversary will drive a new wave of nominations and inspire others to make positive change.

"Our research reveals that the vast majority of young people want to make a positive impact on society.

"We urge communities from across the UK to visit our website and tell us about more young people like Jonathan who deserve to be recognised with The Diana Award.”

Nominations are open for people aged between 9 and 25 years old.

The headline is March 29.
