People with disability currently make up 22% of the UK’s general population and DHM is a platform to further raise awareness of the different forms of disability which could be visible or not, permanent or temporary / fluctuating. Regardless of the type of disability, every person has an equal right to thrive and for their contributions to be recognised.
