In 2023 we’ll be celebrating Disability Awareness Sunday on Sunday 17th September. It’ll be a great time for churches to join together across the UK (and even some internationally). If this date is not convenient, please choose an alternative date to suit your church. Any Sunday can be Disability Awareness Sunday!
Over 20% of the UK population are disabled people (Family Resources Survey, 2021-22). Not all disabilities are visible, but disabled people are still underrepresented in UK churches – especially in positions of responsibility.
Through the Roof is working with churches so everyone’s presence and gifts are valued.
Why not hold a Disability Awareness Sunday service or event in your church or ministry, or include disability?
Here are some free materials to help you plan and celebrate Disability Awareness Sunday at your church…
- We’ve produced a new pack for 2023, focussing on ‘The Unique Gifts God Gives Us‘ with a short video, a suggested service outline and free postcards available for everyone who attends.
- If this is your first Disability Awareness Sunday, we recommend the initial resource based on the Luke chapter 5 ‘through the roof’ theme which contains a full range of videos, key messages, children’s and youth ideas, prayers, and much more.
Send a positive message to disabled people in your congregation or community – download Disability Awareness Sunday resources from Through the Roof at https://throughtheroof.org/forchurches/disability-awareness-sunday/
