Empowering Lives: International Day of Disabled Persons & Giving Tuesday

Today, 3rd December, is a day with dual significance—it’s the International Day of Disabled Persons and Giving Tuesday. At Headway Sussex, we’re proud to celebrate resilience, inclusion, and the achievements of individuals living with disabilities while embracing the spirit of generosity that Giving Tuesday inspires.

Why This Day Matters

The International Day of Disabled Persons is a chance to spotlight the contributions of disabled individuals and reflect on how we can build a more inclusive society. For us, this aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering people living with brain injuries and neurological conditions to reclaim independence and live fulfilling lives.

Giving Tuesday, a global movement for doing good, reminds us all of the power of collective action. It’s an opportunity to come together as a community to support meaningful causes and make a tangible difference.

How You Can Make an Impact
