Disability Awareness Sunday

All people are 'Made in God's image'

In 2025, Disability Awareness Sunday explores the theme: 'Made in God's image'. Join hundreds of churches across the UK - and the world – to explore and celebrate disability inclusion. 

This year, Disability Awareness Sunday is 28th September 2025. But any Sunday can be Disability Awareness Sunday!

The most important thing about Disability Awareness Sunday is that Christians reach out and include disabled people fully in community life. Catch the vision today! Get free resources and ideas to celebrate. 

Free church service resources

In a survey, 66% of churches said they need ideas for how to include disabled people in church activities (ComRes Survey). We can help! - register below to download the new 2025 Disability Awareness Sunday (DAS) service resource free. The original Luke 5 resource pack is still available too.

About the DAS 2025 resource by Emily Owen

We're thrilled that Christian author Emily Owen shares in this year's DAS church resource on the theme ‘Made in God’s Image’ (Genesis 1), which also explores 1 Samuel 16:7, 'God looks at the heart'.  Emily will also share her insights from her own lived experience in the 2025 resource video. Emily lost her hearing overnight aged 21 and has had numerous surgeries. Emily knows what it is to be broken, and she knows what it is to meet God there. But in our brokenness, we remain 'in God's image', as the imprint of God's nature in us all – including disabled and non-disabled people alike.

Join UK churches to hold a Disability Awareness Sunday service or event, celebrating disabled people in our communities as 'made in God's image'. Invite disabled people to speak, include a prayer, and/or play Emily's video story of her lived experience of disability, by accessing the free resources below.
