Crippen is pleased for any cartoons published on this website to be used freely for non-commercial purposes in accordance with a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 2.0 UK: England & Wales Licence, in return for a donation to Brent Advocacy Concerns. Brent Advocacy Concerns are an organisation run and controlled by Disabled people and Crippen's chosen group for 2010. Their Mission Statement is:

"to advocate for an equal and fair society where disabled people have the same opportunities, choices, and rights as non disabled people. A society where we have choice and control over the way we live and the services we use".

Here's what they say in their Press Release:

Brent Advocacy Concerns are delighted to announce the support of Dave Lupton AKA Crippen Disabled Cartoonist who asks people who use his work to donate to us.
Dave Lupton says: "BAC is an organisation that survives on a shoe string whilst remaining true to its ethos. It has a good track record of offering a two-fold empowerment process; disabled volunteers empowering themselves through feelings of self worth engendered through the advocacy programme, whilst enabling disabled people they work with to learn the skills necessary for empowerment. I believe BAC leads the way with regard to how disabled people can work together and succeed against the disabling status quo".
Richard Downes, Coordinator of BAC says: "Our partnership with Crippen Disabled Cartoonist, shows how highly we are valued within the Disabled People’s Movement. We are glad of his support and that of Disabled People and our organisations who buy his work and donate to BAC. Crippen is correct about the value of Volunteer Advocates, disabled and non disabled, who work to move the lives of disabled people forward. We remain committed to members of our community who continue to put themselves forward as Volunteer Advocates."

Please send donations, by cheque payable to Brent Advocacy Concerns (and marked on the back 'Ref: Crippen payment'), to:
