It’s good news as the latest amazing patron of Jill Dando News has been revealed:
She is Ellise, a 22-year-old Disabilities Editor from south Somerset who has captured the hearts of many with her incredible journey of overcoming cerebral palsy.
Her story is not just inspirational—it’s a powerful testament to human resilience and the impact of positivity.
Ellise, already a familiar face as a Disabilities Editor for Jill Dando News and The Good News Post, is now taking on a more significant role as the news outlet's new patron.
Her life-changing story of defying the odds and becoming one of the UK's most sought-after motivational speakers is spreading hope and positivity across the nation.

Despite the challenges posed by cerebral palsy, she uses high-tech Eye-Gaze technology to communicate, delivering her powerful speeches from her walking frame.
With a voice that echoes the tones of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Ellise adds a regal touch to her messages, further amplifying their impact.
Her journey began at Preston School in Yeovil, Somerset, where she thrived under the guidance of then-Headteacher Gregg Morrison, now the Director of Secondary Education at The Priory Learning Trust (TPLT). Morrison has always been one of Ellise’s biggest supporters, saying, "To be honest, I don’t think there is a speaker in the world who is better placed to motivate than Ellise.
“She thrived at school, was loved by everyone, and has enthusiasm to match the most passionate of people."
Ellise’s motivational career took off in 2019 with assemblies at her old school.
Since then, her influence has only grown, reaching audiences that range from headteachers and students to MPs at Westminster.
Most notably, during one of her recent talks in front of Mr. Speaker, another patron of Jill Dando News, Ellise urged her audience to embrace optimism and kindness.
"My message to you is one of good news," she declared.
“Optimism is what we all need more than ever before. I have had cerebral palsy from birth, but I can only see the positives. Life is beautiful."
As the Disabilities Editor for Jill Dando News, Ellise has been dedicated to sharing uplifting stories about individuals with disabilities who are doing extraordinary things.
Working alongside student journalists, she continues to spread good news and uphold Jill Dando’s legacy of positive journalism.
“Jill Dando was such an optimistic person and journalist," Ellise reflects. "We are delighted that her legacy is expanding with such a refreshingly positive ethos that is making the world a better place to live."
Ellise’s appointment as the new patron of Jill Dando News marks a significant moment in her journey.
Her commitment to spreading hope and positivity is a beacon of light in challenging times, reminding us all that with kindness, optimism, and resilience, we can overcome any obstacle.
