Meet the man who will help disabled people do whatever they want.

Lionel Lockley is the co-ordinator of Keighley's new Mainstreaming Disability project.

He will help the disabled get involved in activities and events that other people take for granted.

And he will help local groups, businesses and schools open their doors to people whatever their ability.

Lionel wants to break down barriers between "able-bodied" people and the physically or learning-disabled.

He is spearheading a £38,000 campaign to bring disabled people to the forefront of everyday life.

Although based at the Temple Row Centre, in central Keighley, he will work with organisations across the Keighley area.

The aim is to move away from each disabled person being defined solely in terms of his or her disability.

Instead, they should have access to the same hobbies, services, training and jobs as everyone else.

The project will also encourage disabled people help run organisations, such as becoming secretaries and treasurers.

Mainstreaming Disability is funded for the next 12 months through Bradford Council's Keighley Area Committee.

Mr Lockley welcomes approaches from disabled people who need help in finding a local club where they can pursue their interests.

Mr Lockley said: "We're breaking down barriers, working for equality for everyone. I need people to sign up to be part of it."

Mr Lockley can be contacted at the Temple Row Centre, off North Street, or on 01535 606700.
