What is Disability Pride Month?

Disability Pride Month is a time for individuals with disabilities to share their experiences, stand in solidarity, and promote acceptance and visibility. It is celebrated in various countries, including the UK, during the month of July. This month-long celebration highlights the importance of accessibility, equality, and diversity in every aspect of life.

Breaking Barriers

The theme for 2025 encourages breaking down the barriers that disabled individuals face every day. Whether physical, social, or systemic, these barriers hinder the ability of people with disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives. This theme is aimed at fostering greater awareness of the issues disabled people confront and motivating individuals and organisations to take meaningful action toward accessibility and equality.
