The National Lottery's autumn awareness-raising communication focuses on the inclusion and successful and happy adulthood of children living with disabilities. The end-of-year campaign builds on the personal story of World, European and Paralympic champion swimmer Fanni Illés, to show that barriers can be broken down through acceptance, the support of family and the wider community. In addition to the promotional film, an extraordinary video series has also been produced this year, which portrays the lives of both known and lesser-known people affected and asks taboo questions that no one has dared to ask.
