There are currently 16 million Disabled people in the UK, with Disability Pride Month in July coming to the UK in 2015. The aim of the month is to move away from stigmatised understandings of disability that presents impairments as individual burdens and instead celebrate Disabled people’s creativity, resilience, and achievements.
Join SCOPE to explore what Disability Pride in July means at their free online event ( on Zoom ), ‘Turning Prejudice into Pride’ on Wednesday 23 July 2025 from 6.30pm to 8pm.
Inspiring disabled speakers will share their stories and experiences. Discuss changing attitudes, debunking myths, and celebrating identity. Expect honest talks, powerful insights, and opportunities to share your thoughts.
The hosts are :
· Tumi Sotire – founder of The Black Dyspraxic and award-winning voice for intersectionality and neuro-inclusion.
· Samantha Renke – broadcaster, actor and disability rights campaigner
· Zahraa Al-Jameel – autistic advocate, law student and content creator.
