Owning It: Our disabled childhoods| A lesson plan – KS2, KS3

Text reads 'Disability and charity - it's complicated.' The image is the mid-section of one of those old charity collection boxes - they were all over the UK in the 1980s but come from an earlier era. They're essentially statues of children, this one is a boy with an underarm crutch and a caliper, holding a box marked 'Action for the crippled child' - this is the box you'd put your money in.
