Disability Power 100 recognises the most influential disabled people in the UK.
A man who was seriously injured in the Manchester Arena bombing said he was "proud" to be named as one of the most influential disabled people in the UK.
"Ever since my injury in 2017 my life has been dedicated to making the lives of people with spinal cord injury better by highlighting the injustice and suffering that disabled people face on a day-to-day basis." The SIA said: "His energy and determination to campaign on behalf of disabled people has been hugely influential but we know there is much more that needs to be done before we see a society that enables rather than disables people.
Ava, a digital artist and designer, said she was "honoured to be included with so many amazing people" in this year's Disability Power 100.
