If you're texting your team on their day off. That's not dedication. That's a culture problem.

Drop a 🚩 in the comments if this has happened to you, or a 🙌 if your workplace respects your time off.

A year like no other. Our 2025-26 impact review is here.

We put £648,386 into new work by 25 disabled artists. Artists took their work from Venice to Shanghai. And we invested £230,000 in accessibility across West Yorkshire.

That's the headlines. It's not the whole story: bit.ly/46Wm8TR

"I like that it shows people in positions of power taking responsibility for removing barriers." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Disability isn't about what a body can't do, it's about the barriers society puts up. That's the social model.

Our short animation brings it to life.

Would you like to make a new digital media work?

We're partnering with Creative Folkestone to offer a £30,000 award for a disabled artist based in England.

Apply by Mon 28 Sept: bit.ly/UPAcf

A quote from Jo Cowdrey, Head of Curatorial, Creative Folkestone "We believe art can transform places and communities. Working in partnership with Unlimited, we’re excited to be able to work with disabled artists to create an ambitious, accessible artwork that will be part of Folkestone Triennial 2028." Next to this is a photo of artist Jason Wilsher-Mills points at one of his sculptures and smiles at the camera. Jason is a wheelchair user and wears a t-shirt, shorts, a hat and sunglasses on a sunny day. His sculpture is a human like figure appearing to wear underwear and a mark. One half of the figure looks to be covered in tattoos, while the other half appears to show what the body would look like under the skin. The figure points towards a cave in its chest shaped like a heart.

We asked our whole team. Here's what they told us, and what we're doing about it.
