Blog

Martyn Sibley

Whether I am going through the routine motion of heading to the office, catching up with mates and enjoying my life in London, or something more extreme: there is always something to share with you. I usually write a weekly blog on my ‘daily perspective’ happenings. I aim for them to inform, inspire, entertain and ultimately change – whether that be by broadening disabled people’s horizons or challenging generic stereotypes of disability. Read my latest blog and enjoy the sunny side to life :-p

Video

Martyn Sibley

When words cannot describe, what can one do? I say grab the flipcam and film it! My videos are often from more thrilling occurrences such as my world travel, flying a plane myself, or interviewing someone else of interest to you. The same ethos applies – inform, inspire, entertain and change. People have commented the videos get across my positive attitude to life, silly sense of humour and in explaining my useful approaches to overcoming lifes barriers. Checkout the latest video now!

Get Involved

When I am not blogging or socialising I run my own projects on disability issues. The projects are for you – disabled people, friends, family, professionals and for anyone generally interested. The more people understand the problems, see the solutions and know the personal actions to be taken then the sooner social change can occur.

Happy Birthday Shakespeare

Happy Birthday Shakespeare

Today is William Shakespeare’s birthday. One year ago I made this blog post to wish him well.

A beautiful and challenging trip to the mountains

A beautiful and challenging trip to the mountains

What international trip wouldn’t be complete without a crazy excursion? Whilst my responsibilities lie within my volunteering role and the activities I have outlined to you already, EVS is about many more things too. In my 6 weeks in Aviles I have learnt to get around the city alone, frequented most cafes/bars and enjoyed its [...]

My new experience of teaching

My new experience of teaching

I have been a bit slack on the writing front lately. I had planned to write and post a video every week. There is definitely enough to film and talk about, but the problem is being at my computer to do so. I decided I am better being out there living these experiences, and then [...]
