Disabled people are standing up to unsafe, inaccessible housing – and they're making change happen. From campaigning for proper accessibility to winning the right to live safely and independently, our community is showing that we won't be ignored. Real victories come from coming

No one should ever have to "just accept" hate crime. Disabled people deserve safety, respect, and justice. If you witness or experience hate, speak up, reach out, and let's demand better together. #EndDisabilityHate #DisabilityUnion

Tired of being told you’re "too much" to love? That myth’s long overdue for the bin. Disabled people are deserving of friendship, connection, and deep, joyful love; just like anyone else. We’re not burdens; we’re people with so much to give. It’s time to challenge those old ideas

More people are claiming disability benefits: not because “the system is broken” or people are “gaming” it, but because more of us need help. The real story? A sharp rise in mental health needs, long-term illness after the pandemic, and disability inequalities made worse by the

Young disabled activists are owning social media and showing up in a BIG way: using every platform to call out benefit cuts and win real results. From viral threads to action-packed livestreams, this is what true change looks like. If you’re ready to join the movement, you’llfit

Getting out of bed, making our own cuppa, sending that one email: these moments might seem small, but they are huge steps towards independence 🎉. At The Disability Union, we believe every achievement, no matter the size, deserves celebration. Here’s to all your everyday wins! #P

Still waiting for the right wheelchair or mobility aid? You’re not alone. Thousands across the UK are stuck without essential equipment, facing months (sometimes years) of delays that impact independence, health, and everyday life. Access to mobility isn’t a luxury; it’s a right.

Think disabled people can't achieve big things? Think again! Every day, disabled people are leading teams, launching initiatives, smashing stereotypes, and inspiring change. The only limits we face are imposed by society: not by disability. At The Disability Union, we’re building

Did you know? AI-powered smart glasses are giving visually impaired people true independence: reading menus, scanning receipts, and navigating daily life with confidence. Real-life tech that empowers and opens doors. That's the future we want to see. #IndependentLiving #Disabilty

“You don’t look disabled.” We hear this way too often – and it needs to stop. Disability isn’t always visible. You can’t tell what someone’s going through just by looking at them. Making assumptions can be hurtful, even if they’re meant as a compliment. It can create barriers, a

Did you know homelessness among disabled people has surged 75% since 2019? It’s not just about housing: years of benefit cuts, fewer accessible homes, and skyrocketing living costs have left thousands with nowhere safe to go. The social housing system is failing, waitlists are at

Ever wondered how our community grew to 1,354+ members? It's all about real people, real support, and real wins: like getting that life-changing PIP award, finding your first job, or just finding friends who get it. Our growth is powered by your stories, your resilience, and the

Why are disabled people blamed for 'gaming the system' when the real issue is the system itself: stacked, broken, and designed to exclude? The UN calls it discriminatory, but the narrative still puts the blame on those just fighting for basic rights. Time to stop blaming disabled

My disability is a big part of who I am: and there’s so much about it to be proud of. I wish more people celebrated our resilience, our unique perspectives, and the creative ways we adapt and thrive. What’s something about your disability you wish people noticed: and celebrated?

When tech’s supposed to make life easier, but ends up shutting disabled people out, who takes responsibility? There’s a huge accountability gap that needs closing – because accessibility can’t be optional. Disabled voices matter, from product design through to real-world use. We

You can’t always see disability. From invisible conditions to people who may not "look" disabled, myths about what disability should look like are everywhere. At The Disability Union, we know support, respect, and understanding matter for ALL disabilities: visible or not. Let’s#
