Welcome Lizzie Acker
Monday 17 July 2023
We would like to formally welcome Lizzie Acker as our newest Ambassador.
Lizzie became a valued friend of the BDA last year when she ran our DAW2022 'Fundraise for the BDA with a Bake Sale!' and recently attended our Annual Awards 2023.
Since meeting with the BDA I have visited schools that cater to individual learning and met teachers that fight for their students.
It's a community. Something my younger self would've craved to be in.
Lizzie Acker rose to fame from her appearance on Season 12 of Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off. During the show Lizzie shares that she has dyslexia and was proud to show her neurodiversity through some of her baking.
Since GBBO she has gone on to openly share how dyslexia has affected her life and has advocated for neurodiversity to become more shared and accepted within society. Lizzie uses her social media channels to discuss dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD as she believes the more we speak about it, the more we can create a neurodiverse-friendly culture for everyone.
