Our Founder
Romy
Wolman
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
"My daughter has cerebral palsy. Born with no heartbeat, Milla was resuscitated back to life after 10 minutes. The prognosis was devastating - a child who was never meant to be able to walk or talk. Since her birth, my daily mission and duty has been to discover ways I can alleviate some of the challenges of living with a disability in a frenetic and disconnected world, and how to foster a framework for real inclusion in our community.”
Driven by an acute understanding of the challenges of raising a child with a disability, Romy has been involved in a number of organisations advocating for positive change in the disability sector, including Epilepsy Action, Family Advocacy, and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
In 2019, Romy founded The Single Sock Solution, a social responsibility initiative that partners with charities and corporates in social impact by facilitating inclusive weaving workshops for people of all ages, abilities and cultures. The success of this initiative in turn led Romy to found One&All in 2021.
In 2022, Romy was selected as a participant in the LaunchPad Leadership program, an initiative that empowers leaders of for-purpose organisations with the skills and resources to lead their organisations through change.
Romy’s commitment to innovation in the disability sector continues to grow with each new participant that comes through the doors of One&All.
“The magnificent souls for whom this centre has been created - too often shut out, shunned, ignored , overlooked. It is for each and every one of you that we raise the bar in services being offered. In the space and environment it occurs in and with the right energy, love, commitment and feeling that is required to ignite spirits, improve self-esteem and social engagement, and impact lives positively. This, my dear friends, is One&All.”
