I have been working with Jacqueline since 2015 and we have built up a strong working relationship over this time.  In this time, she has helped me develop the brand of Disability Today and kept me focused on my core objectives, driving the social enterprise forward and helping with our social impact objectives. 

Jaqueline has been instrumental in coaching me and helping me deliver a clear strategy of our aims and goals to help the disabled community.  She is a key influencer in this area and has become a well-respected figure within the third sector.  Universal Inclusion is helping us all deliver a more inclusive world.

I met Jacqueline for the first time at Christmas 2015. Our mutual friend and colleague, Una, was reaching the end of her battle with cancer and wanted to leave a lasting legacy. To that end, we both worked to support her bring off the Courage & Sparkle concert in the Spring of 2016. Sharing event planning, logistics and marketing between us was a great learning experience – particularly as this all took place in our spare time. Jacqueline is a committed, passionate, empathetic leader who makes a difference in everything she touches; particularly in the disability, inclusion and non-profit arenas. I would happily recommend her.

Jacqueline’s mentoring over the past year has been an invaluable support to me, as I have been setting out on my entrepreneurial journey.  A great listener, Jacqueline is full of great ideas and has shown real enthusiasm for my business. She is very encouraging and has gently pushed me to take action, and step out of my comfort zone when I have needed to.  She is always happy to impart her knowledge, share her experience or make an introduction to her own connections. Jacqueline’s passion shines through in everything that she does and she is a real inspiration!

Jacqueline’s help on my journey towards becoming an entrepreneur has been tremendous. With her coaching and the Inclusive Entrepreneur programme, she was instrumental in helping me remove personal blockages and obstacles that I myself had placed in my way. After a year of struggling with the entrepreneur’s world, I was filled with a new level of self-belief that anything is possible with the right support. She has the knowledge and passion to support members of the disabled community, and can in turn help them to follow their own passions.

I first met Jacqueline through a mutual friend. At that time, I reached out to her as I thought she would be an ideal ambassador for my business. In turn Jaqueline, who is quite passionate about Glamsticks, introduced me to her organisation Universal Inclusion, and the Inclusive Entrepreneurs Community, of which I am now a member.

Jacqueline’s knowledge and assistance have been tremendous - from her advice regarding  available support to her handholding throughout the Access to Work Award application. If it hadn't been for Jacqueline's expertise and capabilities, I would have fallen at the first hurdle. Throughout the process, she has kept me calm when my anxieties have been very high. She knows exactly how these awards work and has an amazing way of not letting bureaucracy or conflicting criteria thwart the stated intent of the award to enable disabled people to become successful entrepreneurs in their own right and to be fully supported while doing so.  

I have since embarked on the Inclusive Entrepreneur programme as a disabled entrepreneur and Jacqueline is helping me take my business from a small "Cottage Industry" set-up to one that is larger and more visible, much more than it has ever been before.

"When I first met Jacqueline, she introduced me to her work with Inclusive Entrepreneurs and her events. Her values clearly aligned with ours, so we spent quite a lot of time together, as colleagues, friends and in a way, enjoying a mentor-mentee relationship that had mutual benefit for both of our organisations.

As Cécile Biôt, we have now joined the Inclusive Entrepreneur Community and I love the support that exists between us entrepreneurs. Jacqueline has opened us to opportunities that we would have not considered or thought of before. I look forward to exploring such opportunities and growing within this network."
