Disability Pride Month: Celebrating our diverse abilities

Welcome to our vibrant community

This July, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible diversity, strength, and contributions of people with disabilities.

Disability Pride Month is our time to stand tall, share our stories, and shape a more inclusive world. It’s all about:

Embracing our unique identities
Challenging stereotypes
Promoting accessibility and inclusion
Recognising our achievements and potential

It’s time to get involved:

Share your story: What does disability pride mean to you?
Learn and educate: Explore disability history and culture
Advocate: Support policies for greater accessibility and inclusion

Together, we’re painting a brighter, more inclusive future.

Every voice matters, every experience counts
