This year Forum Central is working with the William Merritt Centre to coordinate a four day celebration to mark International Day of Disabled People 2020 in Leeds.

There’s lots happening that you can get involved with – accessible and inclusive performances, stories, exhibitions, discussions, information and activities that will all be available digitally, with some offline content too.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges and many people have never felt more isolated. This is an opportunity for everyone to join in between the 1-4th December to feel more connected, and be part of this celebration!

IDODP 2020 is a space for celebration, reflection, connection, acceptance and challenge.
