York Disability Rights Forum 2026 Annual General Meeting (In-Person and Online)

More than just an AGM

Join us for an accessible, community-focused AGM about disabled-led change in York.

The YDRF AGM is a chance to connect, share ideas, reflect on progress and help shape what comes next.

From campaigning for better accessibility in the city centre to creating inclusive community spaces through Quiet Pride and York Disability Week events, YDRF is shaped by people who choose to take part.

You don't need to know anything about AGMs to attend. Whether you are a full member, ally, supporter or simply curious about getting involved, you are most welcome.

Your experience, ideas and involvement matter here.
