Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a day which promotes community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

This year’s theme is “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future”.

It’s significance lies in not only recognising the important role that people with disabilities play in creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all, but also highlights the need and importance of persons with disabilities being actively involved in making decisions that affect their lives.

Being heard, seen and included in conversations, being involved in true co-design and simply being part of the disability community all play a role in bringing about positive change.

PDA is grateful for its Board and those it represents.

We thank and salute our members and those who play a role (big or small) in making a true difference.
