In a world that often overlooks or underestimates us, every step forward is worth recognising. By sharing our stories, we not only honour our own journeys but also challenge narrow definitions of success and show what leadership truly looks like.

That’s why we’re inviting our members and supporters to reflect and share: What’s one thing you’ve achieved this Disability Pride Month? Whether it’s attending an event, speaking up for yourself or simply getting through a tough day, your achievement matters.

As #DisabilityPrideMonth continues, we want to reflect on the persistence, leadership, and everyday accomplishments of people with disabilities. #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityPride #DisabledLeadership #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

At our Disabled Leaders Network session, Anita Foldvari broke down who qualifies and how it works for both employed and self-employed individuals. 📺 Explore the full session: youtube.com/watch?v=Q3uPZE… #AccessToWork #DisabilityEmployment #DisabledLeadersNetwork

Together, we're not just celebrating disability pride; we're building it through mentorship, advocacy, and creating opportunities for disabled leaders to shape policy, culture, and community. #DisabledLeadersNetwork

Today marks the start of #DisabilityPrideMonth, a time to honour the lived experiences and leadership of people with disabilities. At the #DisabledLeadersNetwork, this month fuels our commitment to dismantling barriers and centring disabled voices in leadership spaces.

“Policymakers & the public need to understand the benefits, not just the cost [of digital AT]... If they did, there wouldn’t be so much argument.” 📖 Read the report + watch the launch: 🔗 royalsociety.org/news-resources… #AssistiveTech #Inclusion #AT2030 #Accessibility #Innovation

🚀 Last night saw the launch of the @royalsociety Disability Technology report, a major step in recognising how science & innovation can drive inclusion. @cathyholloway1 joined the panel, sharing work from the #AT2030programme on Mobile as AT.👇
