Online event: Belonging Without Barriers

"Belonging Without Barriers is not just another resource on inclusion; it is a call to action... for anyone involved in ministry." (from the Foreword by Tim Wood, our CEO)

Thanks to those who joined us to meet the authors of 'Belonging Without Barriers: Building Accessible Christian Community', a much-needed resource on disability inclusion as a gospel issue. This was a free online event:

Belonging Without Barriers: Meet the Authors

Saturday 16th May 2026 on Zoom

Speakers: Triona Brading, Lois Bunyan & Claire Wood - authors of 'Belonging Without Barriers'.
With disabled Roofbreaker disability champions sharing their lived experience
Host: Tim Wood, Through the Roof's CEO, and the Roofbreaker Team

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/tD4eTegzLUM

Hear practical, down-to-earth inclusion ideas, as well as lived experience stories. Explore why disability inclusion is linked to the heart of the Christian faith. Be inspired by the passion of young Christian authors: Triona, Lois and Claire, as they share their personal and professional experience of church disability inclusion.

Triona Brading works in SEND children’s ministry, Lois Bunyan works in disability arts, and Claire Wood is a teacher. The authors are also Roofbreaker disability champions in their local communities who felt called to create this disability inclusion resource. We pray it will help many more UK churches catch the vision for disability inclusion. 

Reflect on the 'why', by exploring disability theology. Also get practical ideas for supporting different disability needs in your church. Spark discussion in your church about what it means to truly feel you belong in the Church.

Watch the video to hear more, then buy a copy of 'Belonging Without Barriers' from our TTR online shop or from Christian booksellers 10-of-Those. The book we hope will be a game-changer for the UK Church!
