Please share your story today to help us mark 30 years of The Disability Resource Centre

Share your journey of living with or caring for a person with a disability or long term health condition

We invite you to join us in celebrating 30 years of progress and impact. Together, let’s honour the resilience, strength, and achievements of disabled people, and reaffirm our commitment to building a more inclusive and accessible world for all. As part of our celebration, we encourage our service users and community members to share their stories of disability over the last 30 years. Whether it’s a tale of triumph, a reflection on challenges overcome, or a call for change, your stories are a powerful testament to the journey of the disability community and we would love to support you in sharing them. By sharing your experiences, you can inspire others, raise awareness, and advocate for a better future for disabled people everywhere.
