Disability Pride Month and MS
July is Disability Pride Month, an international awareness month that celebrates disabled people.
It's a celebration that highlights the creativity, resilience, and achievements of disabled people. It's also a time to celebrate the diversity in our community and reject stigma, discrimination, and ableism that prevents equality for everyone.
My MS identity is growing every day, I’m truly out about it and living my best life.
Celebrating our community
We celebrate our MS community all year round. This month we want to hear from you about what Disability Pride Month means to you?
Let us know using our stories form or by commenting on our social posts.
We are the future and the future is accessible and I believe true visibility is the key to that.
Disability and MS
Everyone with MS in England, Wales and Scotland automatically meets the disability definition under the Equality Act 2010 from the day they’re diagnosed. In Northern Ireland people diagnosed with MS are protected by the Disability Discrimination Act.
That means everyone with MS and the people around us have protection from discrimination by law.

We're always on the look out for stories about life with MS to share with the community. So get in touch.
