Dis-labled - Community Focus Arts Radio
Welcome to Dis-labled, the magazine show that amplifies voices, challenges stereotypes, and celebrates ability over disability. We're here to break barriers, share stories, and remind the world that we are more than labels. It's time to listen, learn, and redefine what's possible.
Community Focus is an inclusive arts centre for adults and young people with additional needs, including learning, physical, mental health, and autism. Serving the London Borough of Barnet community since 1978.

Ep 42: We Meet Hasel, an Artist With Asperger's & Discuss How Opening Up Makes Us Feel
In today’s episode, we interview the incredible artist Hasel, who began creating art during lockdown and now produces a new piece almost every day. She opens up about living with Asperger’s and shares how painting and drawing have boosted her confidence and helped her express herself more clearly.
We are treated to another poem by Carol, titled Memories / My Place. A gentle reflection on the places and moments that bring her peace, joy, and a deep sense of belonging.
Lastly, the group reflects on how bearing their souls on the show over the past few years has helped them — in both positive and challenging ways
