Evenbreak’s Flys the Flag for Accessibility and Representation

Disability employment social enterprise Evenbreak is returning to the streets of London Pride 2025 tomorrow (July 5) with its boldest message yet: Pride must be accessible for all.

Back by popular demand, the campaign Pride in Talent places disabled LGBTQIA+ voices front and centre, challenging the exclusion still faced within Pride celebrations.

At the heart of the campaign is the disability-inclusive version of the Disability Inclusive Pride flag, developed in collaboration with Valentino Vecchietti in 2024 (pictured above).

While the flag gained attention last year, much of the coverage focused on the design and its creator, leading to confusion about its purpose. Some mistakenly framed it as a replacement for existing flags. But the flag’s true intent remains clear: it is a powerful activist statement highlighting the lack of accessibility at Pride events and the ongoing erasure of disabled queer people.

“Disabled LGBTQIA+ people have always been here but too often we’re sidelined, unseen, or outright excluded,” said Dayna Halliwell, Campaign Lead at Evenbreak. 

“This flag isn’t about replacing anything. It’s about being visible, being proud, and being included in the celebrations we’ve helped shape.”

Evenbreak, run entirely by and for disabled people, works year-round to close the disability employment gap through a global job board, consultancy, and training services. The organisation’s presence at Pride is both a celebration and a call to action, reminding society that inclusion without accessibility is not true inclusion at all.

“Disability isn’t a separate issue from LGBTQIA+ rights; many of us live at that intersection,” said Jane Hatton, Founder and CEO of Evenbreak.

“Pride should be a space where every part of our identity is welcomed and respected.”

In the lead-up to the event, Evenbreak has been running a digital campaign inviting the disabled LGBTQIA+ community to share what true accessibility at Pride means to them. These lived experiences will shape how the flag and the wider movement are seen, understood, and carried forward.
