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.

Transgender Awareness Week

Transgender Awareness Week is a time to uplift trans voices, share stories, and work toward greater acceptance. This week highlights the resilience of transgender people while addressing the discrimination many still face. It’s an opportunity for allies to show support, educate themselves, and advocate for a more inclusive society. Let’s come together to ensure everyone feels respected and valued, regardless of gender identity.

It offers key recommendations for national leaders, including the need for a clearer framework for population health and public health leaders to operate in, and a number of principles for local systems drawn from our findings from local good practice and wider insight.
