Tom Jamison

Tom Jamison became the editor of the UK’s favourite disability lifestyle publication, Able Magazine, in 2013. Tom has lived experience of disability, having been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in his thirties. Additionally, within his work for Able Magazine, he has spoken with thousands of disabled people to tell their stories and share the answers and solutions they’ve come up with in making it all work. As the editor, Tom promotes Able Magazine’s motto: ‘About what disabled people can do, not what they can’t’ whenever possible.

The attraction of becoming a trustee with MS Together was the opportunity to help shape a new charity looking at ways to support young people with MS. Tom had become known to MS Together founder, Amy Thompson, via his work with the National Diversity Awards and was invited to join the board of trustees. The decision to join MS Together as a trustee was entirely simple, since it presents further opportunities to help young people to live better and reach their potential.
