ActionAble 2025: A Landmark Event for Disability Inclusion

Have you heard of ActionAble 2025? It’s a UK-wide, action-based business event designed to create fully inclusive workplaces with fair representation and zero engagement gaps. This dynamic virtual event is happening next week, featuring an inspiring lineup of speakers who will challenge perceptions of disability inclusion in the workplace and equip organizations with the tools to drive meaningful change.

As 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act and the 15th anniversary of the UK Equality Act, we stand at a pivotal moment to turn aspirations into action. ActionAble 2025 provides an exclusive, virtual space for businesses to commit to meaningful change, supported by world-renowned practitioners who will help attendees build practical, actionable plans for disability inclusion. With 1000+ Inclusive Cross-Sector Leaders, 60+ Expert Speakers, and 40+ Disability Specialist Support Organisations to learn from, it is time we took meaningful steps to end discrimination of this nature. 

The State of Disability Inclusion in Society and the Workplace

Disability inclusion is not just a moral imperative but an economic and social necessity. With one in five people in the UK living with a disability and an aging population set to increase this figure significantly, ensuring inclusive workplaces is crucial for future workforce sustainability.  

Research shows that 80% of disabilities are acquired during a person’s lifetime, highlighting the important of disability inclusion, as it is a reality that will affect all of us at some stage. Businesses that proactively embrace accessibility and equity will be better positioned for long-term success and resilience.
