Every July, Disability Pride Month celebrates the identity, creativity, and strength of the disabled community. This year’s theme, “The World Works Better With Us,” highlights how disability-led ideas, like ramps and captions, make life easier and better for everyone.
To mark their 20th anniversary, AFP took over the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a stellar line-up, featuring comedians with disabilities. Founded by Simon Minty and Steve Best, this comedy group uses humour to challenge perceptions and share their lived experiences. Supported by the Motability Scheme, the show was a masterclass in inclusion, featuring live captions and accessible flooring that improved the festival experience for everyone.
