 David Bird has a condition called Vascular Anomaly |
A man from Norfolk who was born with a facial disfigurement is starring in a new poster campaign. David Bird, from Heacham, has had his face on billboards and buses across the country.
It is part of the Changing Faces campaign which aims to tackle prejudices towards disfigurement.
Mr Bird said it is a problem he had had to deal with since birth.
"I was born with a condition called Vascular Anomaly which affects the right side of my head and eye," he said.
"I don't worry about it now. It was really in my teens, when I was wanting to meet girls, that it was very difficult."
Changing Faces was founded in 1992 and works to help children and adults with disfigurements and also fight prejudice against people with disfigured faces.
