Summary

Description
English: Beth Richards, a researcher in the Norah Fry Centre for Disability Studies, talks about the work and legacy of Norah Fry (1871 to 1960): 

"Norah, a member of the Fry family famed for its chocolate and cocoa, was born and educated in Bristol.  Her family’s wealth meant she never needed paid employment, but throughout her life she committed herself to work on behalf of those less fortunate than herself.  

"After completing her studies at Cambridge University and an apprenticeship with the Charity Organisation Society - a home-visiting service that formed the basis for modern social work – Norah focused her attention on improving the lives of people with learning disabilities. 

"She also had a very close relationship with the University, being a member of Council for over 50 years.  When she died in 1960, Norah left money to the University to be used for teaching and for finding out more about the needs of people with learning disabilities and mental illnesses. 

"The Norah Fry Research Centre was created in 1988 and has pursued a programme of research which has helped us to see people with learning disabilities in a new light and challenge our preconceptions about their identity.  

"People with learning disabilities, like myself, now work as co-researchers in some studies – something which would have been unimaginable 100 years ago. The centre makes a positive difference in the lives of disabled children, young people and adults. We hope Norah would have approved of what we have achieved since she handed down the challenge."
