From exclusion to action, October 2024–October 2025 has been a year of momentum. We built new teams on Tyneside and Teesside, created Our Voice Our Agenda, challenged welfare reform, fought for accessible housing and transport, launched research into disability and domestic abuse, and filled the empty chairs left by politicians who wouldn’t listen. Every step, disabled people led.

Now, as we mark 30 years since the Disability Discrimination Act, we’re ready for the next chapter.

Join us for our Annual General Meeting – Tuesday 22 October, 6–8 pm (online). We’ll celebrate a year of resistance and renewal, and share plans for the biggest Disability History Month yet: theatre, art, photography, workshops, and action across the North East.
