    Natalie led the campaign to ensure that disabled children who are educated away from school are also entitled to a free school meal and did a phenomenal job! Her enthusiasm, dedication and leadership unquestionably contributed significantly to the success of the campaign - it wouldn’t have happened without all her efforts.
