🌍 International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2025 🌍

This year’s UN theme, “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” reminds us that true progress happens when barriers come down.

At Independent Lives, the social model of disability inspires everything we do, supporting disabled people and carers to live with independence, choice, and control.

Together, we’re creating a world where inclusion isn’t optional, it’s essential. 💛
