Reading Disability Pride Day
Celebrating Inclusivity and Empowerment
Reading comes together to celebrate its first ever Disability Pride event which aims to foster a sense of unity among Reading’s disabled community, their families, friends and supporting organisations.
July is national Disability Pride month which strives to challenge societal perceptions, dismantle stereotypes, and promote acceptance and equality for disabled people.
Reading’s own vibrant disabled community will be celebrated at an inaugural event which takes place on Saturday 8 July, between 11am-3pm on Broad Street.
People visiting can look forward to a fun-filled event with inspiring performances, from singers Rona Topaz (11:05am and 1:30pm) and Miles (12:35pm and 2:25pm), a comedy set from Helen Bryant (11:15am and 1:45pm) and a theatrical production from Rank & File (11:35am).. There will also be stalls offering information on their organisations and activities from Me2Club, Caroline Streatfield and Fab4all.
The Disability Pride Event welcomes all residents of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds.
