Local charity Ruils Independent Living is hosting a free drop-in event to close out Disability Pride Month on Thursday 30 July, and it's open to disabled people, carers and allies alike.
The event runs from 12.30pm to 2pm at the Disability Action and Advice Centre, 4 Waldegrave Road, Teddington, TW11 8HT. No booking is required — simply drop in at any point during the two hours. The session is a chance to mark the month, meet others and hear about Ruils' work supporting independent living across the Richmond borough.
For those interested in disability rights and local campaigning, there's also an opportunity to stay on afterwards: the monthly Your Say meeting begins in the same room at 2pm. The group develops and delivers campaigns aimed at making Richmond more accessible and inclusive, and new voices are welcome.
Teddington is a straightforward bus ride from Barnes, making this accessible for residents across the SW13 and SW14 areas who want to show solidarity or find out more about local disability support. The event is free and all are welcome. More information via Richmond Council.
