Preston's First Ever Disability Pride Day - Disability Equality North West

We were VERY excited to be part of the very first Preston’s Disability Pride day! The 20th June 2024 marks the first of hopefully many more.

Jointly organised by @CaritasCareUK & the team here @DIsabilityNW

CEO, Mel Close shares: “A brilliant event, so busy, such a great atmosphere and such great support from local organisations! Celebrating diversity within the Disability community!”

The sun was shining (and yes, for Preston that not that common!), it’s a a fabulous high-vibes and welcoming environment with a wide range of service providers and charities spreading the love and raising awareness within our communities of supportive activities and organisations.

Here’s the promotional image for the day…
