Blackpool to host Disability Pride 2026

Plans are underway to deliver a DISABILITY PRIDE event for the Fylde Coast in July 2026.

A number of local organisations have already met to look at the aims and feasibility, and talks are underway with a potential venue for this milestone event in the area’s calendar.

July was chosen, as it is Disability Pride month in the UK. The aim is to have a parade and then live entertainment and stalls and activities.

Similar to the existing PRIDE celebrations, Disability Pride is already well established in some UK cities and towns. It’s the perfect occasion to bring disability support groups together, and to enable people with disabilities to showcase their achievements, identities and value to the community.

The day will also tackle some of the lingering stigmas and negative stereotypes that impact disability, and will show how diversity and inclusion are forces for good.

The Co-Chairs of the working group are Bev Baxter, Director of Baxter Life Care Ltd and Martin Yates, Equality, Diversity and Event Manager at Baxter Life Care Ltd.

Martin said: “We’re delighted to be spearheading the organisation of Blackpool Disability Pride, a celebration of the differences amongst disabled people. It will also show the wider community the value disabled people can bring to society.”

Amanda Westgate, Communications & Fundraising Officer for N-Vision sight loss charity, is also on the working group. She added: “Every day our clients show what they can do, and demonstrate that even with severe sight impairment just about anything is possible.

“Disability Pride will be great opportunity to join with other community organisations and local individual to make great memories, share experiences, and stimulate positive conversations and attitudes.

“It may even attract more disabled visitors to the area.”

The next meeting of the working group is 10.30am-12.30pm on Tuesday 25th November, at N-Vision’s Sharples Hall Activity Centre, Bosworth Place, BLACKPOOL FY4 1SH.

Anyone with an interest in this event is warmly invited to attend the meeting.

You can also register a willingness to be involved, and ask to be kept up to date, by messaging:

🌍💚 It’s World Mental Health Day! 💚🌍



Today is a gentle reminder that our mental health matters — every single day.



At Baxter Life Care, we know that caring isn’t just about physical health, it’s about emotional wellbeing too. Whether it’s a friendly chat, a reassuring smile, or a quiet moment of understanding — small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💬💚

This year’s theme reminds us that mental health is a universal human right. Everyone deserves the chance to feel supported, valued, and cared for — no matter who they are or where they come from.



So, today, let’s all take a moment to check in with ourselves and with those around us. Ask someone how they’re doing — and really listen. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to brighten someone’s day. 🌿✨



Together, let’s keep breaking the stigma and spreading kindness in our communities. 💚
