WITH this week being Autism Acceptance Week, an EV charging group will be covering their charging points across the UK with beautiful artwork, created by autistic artist, Rebecca Ellis – including a popular charging point in Warrington.

Osprey Charging, one of the country’s leading Electric vehicle charging suppliers, has many of its EV charging points in different locations, including one at the popular Skymaster pub in Westbrook.

But the chargers will be much more ‘eye-catching’ this week with artwork from a collection named The Acceptance Journey covering each point to raise awareness for Autism week.

31-year-old artist, Rebecca, is a researcher, artist, science communicator, and advocate for the neurodivergent community.

The EV charging company strive to help important causes and decided to award Rebecca with £1,000 for her moving collection of art which is being printed into high quality wraps and exhibited on 21 of its chargers across several locations within the UK including Warrington.

Osprey’s chargers have previously hosted artwork in celebration of Pride, Black History Month, UK Disability History Month, and International Day of People with Disabilities.

Talent for the campaign, Rebecca said: “I’m hugely flattered that Osprey has chosen to display my artwork on their chargers.

“The Acceptance Journey represents the steps we are taking to reach autism acceptance and awareness.

“The books represent learning with key messages and themes written on their spines. I wanted the piece to be colourful and positive as we work together as a community to reduce stigma, embrace neurodiversity and increase understanding.

“Thanks to Osprey for giving me a platform to display my art whilst creating such a positive message. The charger artwork project shows allyship in supporting the autistic, neurodivergent and wider disabled communities with these fantastic campaigns.”

Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging said: “At Osprey we are building an EV charging network that is open to all, and it’s therefore critical for us to show our support for communities who are often underrepresented.

“By converting our EV chargers into galleries for artwork we are honouring themes that have been suggested by our staff and customers, whilst bringing attention to some important causes and organisations.

“I want to thank Rebecca for supporting us with this campaign. Her artwork will inspire drivers and others at our charging locations to consider and make choices that respect people with autism as well as all disabilities.”
