 Julie Fernandez - founder of The Disability Foundation
After two years at the centre, Julie had worked her way through the charity as secretary, fundraiser and finally as manager and thus gained valuable experience and insight into the running of a charity.
It was through these frustrations that Julie and Janet conceived the idea to set up a charity, which would provide a national pan disability ‘one stop’ information access service and offer subsidised complementary therapies not just to people with a disability but to their family and carers as well.
After appearing in the second series of The Office, Julie’s celebrity profile was enhanced and she found herself being requested by other charities and organisations to help raise awareness of national campaigns supporting the equal rights of people with disabilities.

 BBC - Ouch! - YourSpace - Greatest Disabled TV Character: Nessa Lockhead
Played by actress Julie Fernandez, Nessa Lockhead was the wheelchair-using teenager on the BBC's infamous but ill-fated sunshine soap, Eldorado.
Often seen showing her surgical scars to the locals when dipping in and out of the pool (we assumed for therapeutic reasons), Nessa was the clean-living disabled girl amongst the little Englanders settled in the Spanish coastal town of Los Barkos.
The character was popular amongst disabled people because Fernandez (who later appeared in The Office) was disabled herself, and was portrayed as a typical stroppy teen with all the usual schoolgirl goings-on.
