We are very proud of our Ambassador, Jacob Chandler, on these achievements.
His work typically focuses on movement, physical power and prowess, the impetus for this study stems from Chandlerโs own struggles with physical health. Suffering with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and colitis he was forced at thirteen to step back from a physically active lifestyle, becoming almost bedbound. Through careful behavioral therapy, managed activity levels, combined with diligent physio he is now excelling in his dream career as a sculptor.
He’s just been awarded a Projects Grant from the The National Lottery and Arts Council England, and recently designed the trophy that was presented at the inaugural Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner & Awards, held last week in London and attended by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, founding patron of the Invictus Games. He was even featured in the Shropshire Star – https://www.shropshirestar.com/…/meet-the-shropshire…
