Andrew Griffiths, Health & Safety Workplace Auditor at Evri, and Scope Awards judge, said: “Evri is proud to sponsor the Scope Awards for the second year running, supporting our commitment to disability equality, the vital work Scope does across the UK, and building on a fantastic first year supporting Scope, during which we donated over £160,000. “Being involved in these awards is personal to me. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at 26, which helped make sense of the challenges I’d faced at school and earlier in my career. Those experiences taught me to reassess my strengths and stay true to my values – even when it meant facing difficult situations. “Joining Evri was a turning point. I found a workplace that respects difference, recognises potential, and encourages people to bring their whole selves to work. That’s why I’m honoured to judge this year’s awards, celebrating the achievements of disabled people and allies who are driving real progress.”

Sammi Skelding, Head of Partnerships and Philanthropy at disability equality charity Scope, said: “I’d like to thank our partners, Evri and their clients, for their wonderful generosity. These vital funds will go a long way in helping us create a society where disabled people have equal opportunities and support. They’re also essential to help us provide services, such as our free helpline, that empower and provide a lifeline for many disabled people. “
