Local charity Ruils Independent Living is hosting a free drop-in celebration at its Disability Action and Advice Centre in Teddington this Thursday, 30 July, to mark the close of Disability Pride Month.
The event runs from 12.30pm to 2pm at 4 Waldegrave Road, Teddington TW11 8HT, and is open to disabled people, carers and allies. No booking is required — just drop in at any point during the two-hour window. The occasion is an opportunity to celebrate the identities, experiences and contributions of disabled people across the borough, and to connect with others in the community.
For those interested in disability rights and local campaigning, Ruils is also running its monthly Your Say meeting in the same room from 2pm. The group develops and delivers campaigns aimed at making Richmond more accessible and inclusive — from transport to public spaces.
Ruils has been a longstanding presence in the borough, providing independent living support and advocacy. Thursday's event offers a low-key, welcoming way to find out more about the organisation and meet people working on disability issues locally.
