Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities
The theme for 2025 is Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress. Here at Embrace our mission is to ensure that all disabled people have the opportunity to be valued, included and have real choice. We believe that disabled people make our communities a more diverse, interesting and worthwhile place to live. That is why everything we do is about ensuring all people are included in their local community
