Blogs and Community Resources
Disabled people often learn the most from each other — through shared experiences, honest writing, and community-led projects that reflect real life rather than abstract guidance.
This section brings together blogs, editorial platforms, and community projects that focus on disability, accessibility, and inclusive living. These are not services, helplines, or product providers. Instead, they offer perspectives, stories, analysis, and practical reflections shaped by lived experience and long-term involvement in disability communities.
What you’ll find here
The resources listed in this section may include:
- Disabled-led blogs and editorial platforms
- Community projects exploring accessibility, technology, or inclusive design
- Sites that centre lived experience, participation, and real-world barriers
- Writing that reflects day-to-day disabled life, not just policy or theory
Some projects are run entirely by disabled people; others involve disabled contributors directly and pay them for their work. All are included because they add context, insight, or community voice that’s often missing from mainstream coverage.
Why these resources matter
Much disability information online focuses on systems — benefits, services, assessments, or equipment. While that information is essential, it doesn’t always capture how disabled people actually experience the world.
Blogs and community platforms can:
- Surface issues that haven’t yet reached policy discussions
- Share practical insights grounded in everyday life
- Challenge assumptions about access, independence, and inclusion
- Reflect a wider range of disabled perspectives
They also provide space for disabled people to write, create, and be heard on their own terms.
How we choose what’s listed
We include resources here because they:
- Relate clearly to disability, accessibility, or inclusive living
- Show respect for disabled people and avoid harmful or patronising language
- Are transparent about who is behind the project
- Do not pressure readers to buy products or services
Inclusion in this section is not an endorsement of every opinion expressed. These are editorial and community spaces, and views may differ. The aim is to help readers discover thoughtful, relevant work and decide what’s useful for them.
A note on balance
This section will grow over time. Some resources may be UK-focused, others international. Some may concentrate on specific topics such as gaming, technology, education, or culture. We aim to reflect that range without presenting any single site as the authority.
