Sam Ogle
Nominee Profile
Location: Sunderland
I'd like to start with my bio from my website, which sums me up...
I'm Sam, Founder of Dream Big Live BiGR.
I'm a human navigating a world not designed for me. It's tough but so am I.
I'm a sports fanatic. I coach football. I am a college student. I am a total foodie.
I am an advocate. I am all about equity. I hold people to account. I speak up.
I have dreams of living a big and full life, dreams of travelling, dreams of achieving my ambitions. Big, big dreams...
But life is for living, not dreaming. Dream big, live bigger!

I am a Disabled Rights Activist. My business, Dream Big Live BiGR, has been in development for over a year now, and is based on my years of experience as a disability advocate. I am thrilled to be nominated for the ‘Positive Role Model Award for Disability’. I am 100% certain this sums me up, as I have multiple success stories and big plans for myself and others with disabilities.
I think this would be a good time to share a link to my YouTube channel, where I have begun to collate the many experiences I have as a Disabled Rights Activist.

Here you will find videos of me doing what I do… Speaking up and advocating for young people with disabilities. Making speeches, doing presentations, conference chairing, training SEND workforce, speaking to Government Ministers, and more. I’m not showing off. I’m speaking up. I’m standing up (pardon the pun!) for the rights of young people with disabilities.
Recently, I secured a meeting with Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education. Whatever the outcome, I will be able to share my own and other young people’s views at a very high level. I am so proud to be getting heard at this level.
I am a Role Model for people with disabilities, but that does not mean I expect every person with a disability to follow in my footsteps or do what I do. We all have valuable roles in society. Mine is this. You do you, I’ll do me.
