Getting Into The Act

Toby Crook has been in various Advocacy roles over the past few years. He has a natural talent for public speaking and being a voice for others. Toby does not follow a script nor plan what he has to say; his words naturally flow and speak to the heart of everyone in the room.

Toby has recently been invited to join the Valid Eastern Client Network Committee, where he will attend monthly meetings at The Ringwood Federation Estate commencing on Monday 21st June. This is an exciting opportunity for Toby and he is looking forward to discussing the current challenges and successes in the sector and generally advocating for people with disabilities.

Drama participants received a sneak peak of Toby’s recent performance in ‘Getting into the Act’, a DVD created to explain the Disability Act. Toby joined forces with actors from Reinforce Advocacy Drama Group to make the film. The DVD features an animated character that leaps out of the Disability Act and onto the shoulders of actors to explain the different parts of the Act.

Toby and other performers gave a great performance, acting with an animated cartoon. All the participants gave Toby a rousing round of applause at the end of the DVD and joked that he should be signing autographs!
