UK Disability History Month
UK Disability History Month is a chance to reflect on the history, challenges, and achievements of disabled people. It’s a time to celebrate progress while recognizing that barriers still exist and to commit to building a more inclusive future.
This month encourages us to listen to the voices of disabled individuals, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for change. By learning from the past and engaging with the present, we can all play a part in creating a society that values and supports everyone.
Let’s take this opportunity to educate ourselves, share stories, and make a difference—because inclusion benefits us all.
