A CHARITY has supported a national campaign through a creative art project.
People First Keighley and Craven, a self-advocacy charity for people with learning disabilities and neurodiversity, took part in an art workshop in support of Fiona Laskaris' campaign to change the law following the tragic death of her son, Christopher.
The campaign calls for an amendment to the Mental Health Bill to better protect vulnerable adults from exploitation and abuse.
A spokesperson for People First Keighley and Craven said: "We work to break down barriers and inequalities, to bring people together, and support people to become active members of the community."
"People First Keighley and Craven also serves as a Hate Crime Reporting Centre."
Christopher, a 24-year-old autistic man, was murdered by a man who had been exploiting him after gaining access to Christopher's flat whilst he was left without a secure front door following a welfare check.
He had experienced repeated abuse and exploitation prior to his death.
The proposed 'Christopher's Law' would give families the right to request capacity assessments for vulnerable relatives and improve the assessment process by involving individuals familiar with the person being evaluated.
People First member Jane Oxley, said: "I really enjoyed it."
"All the best of luck for the campaign."
The art project, titled From All Walks of Life, features mixed-media shoe designs symbolising unity and shared experience.
