Discover our full event programme for Disability History Month!
Disability History Month 2026 runs from the 16th of November to the 16th of December. It exists to raise awareness of the lived experience of disabled people, to understand more about the history and contributions of disabled people to our society, to uplift historical and modern icons whose passion and political action changed the UK for disabled people, and to celebrate!

If you are feeling stress, pent up, anxious about upcoming exams, come visit the dogs and have a rest.

Spaces are limited to 6 students, don't miss out!
