A New Chapter for Living with Disability

We've got an important message for all our readers. After fourteen years producing the UK's premium disability lifestyle magazine, we're building something new: a community shaped by the people who read it...

For 14 years, Living with Disability has told the stories that matter: the breakthroughs, the setbacks, the people driving change, and the everyday moments that rarely make the news anywhere else. Our magazine has landed on doorsteps across the UK twice a year, and every week our journalism has reached readers, families, carers and professionals through our digital platforms and email newsletters too.


That work doesn't stop. It grows. We exist for the moments that matter, when you need real answers, a story that makes you feel less alone, or simply a community that gets it. You have always been more than readers to us.


Over the past year, we surveyed hundreds of readers and followed up with dozens more in detail, asking what was working, what was missing, and what you wanted from us next. The answers were clear. You wanted more ways to connect with each other, not just with us. You wanted practical support that makes a real difference, and a genuine say in the stories we tell, not just a seat to read them from. You also wanted us to show up in more places, in print, online, in video and at events across the country.


Introducing our New Membership


So that's what we've built. In the months ahead, Living with Disability will be more than a magazine. It will be a membership, built around the same trusted journalism you already know, alongside new content and new ways to take part. Members will be part of a growing community, with a genuine say in the direction we take. Editorial priorities, event themes and future content will be shaped by member feedback, not decided behind closed doors. Every membership will help support independent journalism.


None of this is guesswork. Every part of the new membership has been shaped by real feedback from real readers, the surveys you completed, the conversations you had with our team, and the honest answers you gave. That's what fourteen years in this community has taught us: the best ideas come from the people living the experience every day. It's what we set out to do fourteen years ago, to inform, support and connect disabled people, their families, friends, carers and the professionals who work alongside them. Membership is simply the next step.


Join Us!


We believe disability should never stand in the way of ambition, independence or opportunity, and membership is how we put that belief into practice, together. When you join, you're not just signing up to a website. You're joining a community built on trust, understanding and genuine solidarity, one that helps make sure disabled voices are heard loud and clear. We're proud of what Living with Disability has built over fourteen years. We're prouder still of what we can build next, together.
