Join us today for an inspiring episode of Navigating Disability with Isaac Harvey MBE—a remarkable disability advocate, acclaimed content creator, and President of Wheels and Wheelchairs.

Born with limb-pelvic hypoplasia, Isaac has mastered using his feet with incredible dexterity to edit videos, navigate the digital world, and tirelessly campaign for a more accessible future. 

His life is a testament to adventure and defiance of limits: from skydiving and sailing tall ships to modeling adaptive fashion on the runway at London Fashion Week.

Honoured with an MBE in 2023 for his services to disability advocacy, Isaac is dedicated to challenging societal perceptions and driving inclusion through powerful storytelling and community engagement.

For Isaac, life has been a roller coaster. He credits his supportive friends and family, who constantly encourage him to be the best version of himself, as crucial in helping him navigate his disability. 

He openly shares his early struggles in a London where public transport was far less accessible than it is today to how he navigated disability throughout his journey.

Tune in as we explore Isaac’s extraordinary journey, the resilience he’s built along the way, and the profound impact of his advocacy work. 

This episode is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of building an inclusive world for everyone.
