26/06/2025 - Luton to host series of events for DisAbility Celebration Month
Luton's Disability Network is hosting a series of events through July, as part of its annual Disability Celebration Month.
Building on the international Disability Pride Month initiative which also takes place in July, the month of events are designed to celebrate the diversity, resilience, and achievements of Disabled people and to reject the stigma, discrimination, and ableism that prevents equality for everyone.
Details of the various events and links to find out more can be found below. Please note that events listed may be added or updated on this page throughout the month.
Cllr Basit Mahmood, Portfolio Holder for Population Wellbeing covering adults with physical disabilities and learning disabilities, said: “DisAbility Celebration Month is an important opportunity for Luton to shine a spotlight on the diverse contributions and lived experiences of Disabled people in our town. These events are not only about celebration – they’re about education, empowerment, and pushing back against the barriers that sadly still exist for many of our Disabled residents. I encourage everyone to take part, listen, learn and stand with us as we champion equality, dignity, and inclusion for all.”
