SIGNAGE created by a Prestonpans youngster which aims to highlight ‘invisible’ disabilities has received the backing of Hibernian Football Club after they adopted it at their Easter Road stadium.

Grace’s Sign, which was designed by Prestonpans’ Grace Warnock, is part of her campaign to make people aware that not all disabilities are visible.

Grace, 11, designed accessible toilet door signs to drive home the message that some people need toilet access for a range of conditions which are not immediately obvious.

And her campaign and Grace’s Signs have proved a huge hit, with a wide variety of organisations eager to adopt them.

Grace, who has suffered from Crohn’s Disease, is a Hibs fan and was delighted when her sign was unveiled as a surprise at the club.

The youngster had been visiting her former school Prestonpans Infant School for an unveiling of their new sign – which joins Prestonpans Primary School, where she is currently a pupil, in displaying them – before a trip to Easter Road.

Iain Gray, East Lothian MSP and chairman of the Hibernian Community Foundation, helped to get the signs adopted at the club.

He said: “I was delighted to join Grace and her mum Judith at Easter Road for this latest important milestone in her campaign to raise awareness about invisible disabilities and accessible toilets.

“As a Hibs fan and chair of the Hibs Community Foundation, I’m especially pleased to see the signs go up at Easter Road. But their adoption at a major sporting venue like this also sends out a wider message and I hope other sports teams will follow suit.

“It is remarkable to think how much Grace has achieved in only a little over a year. The campaign has proved to be inspirational to many people, not only in Scotland and the rest of the UK, but also around the globe.

“I’m sure Grace’s Sign will continue to resonate and look forward to continuing to support Grace and Judith with the campaign.”
