Grace Warnock is an absolute powerhouse – she has designed and run a national campaign that has been endorsed up by the Scottish Parliament and a number of businesses, from Edinburgh Airport to Filmhouse cinema and Hibernian FC’s Easter Road Stadium; she sat around the table with Nicola Sturgeon; her story went viral on Mighty (over half a million views and counting); she met Prince William and Prince Harry; and she won numerous awards, including Young Scot award in the Health category.

She suffers from Crohns Disease, an inflammatory bowel disease which requires her to often make bathroom stops when out and about, and she noticed judgmental looks she got from strangers every time she had to use the accessible toilet. Not content with just putting up with it, she decided to change things, not only for herself, but also for other people who suffer from invisible disabilities.

She designed a bespoke accessible toilet sign that includes a person in a wheelchair and a standing person both with a red heart sign, which symbolises people with invisible conditions. Grace was hoping that this sign would help people to understand that some disabilities are not obvious, and would encourage them to ‘have heart’, and not judge others without knowing their full story.

She then launched ‘Grace’s Sign’ campaign, which keeps growing from strength to strength, and Grace hopes one day her sign will become the global symbol of accessible toilets.
