ActionAble 2025
On Wednesday, February 26th, 2025, ActionAble 2025 will host the UK’s first ever virtual conference with world renowned practitioners dedicated to empowering businesses to build disability-inclusive action plans.
This virtual event, led by world-renowned practitioners, will give you access to everything you need to build a practical, actionable plan to make 2025 a landmark year for disability inclusion in your business, and across the UK. The event, spearheaded by Sara Weller CBE, is supported by Partners, Business Disability Forum, Channel 4, Lloyds Banking Group, Scope, Valuable 500, Purple Space and is delivered by ImpactMatch.
2025 is a time to take stock, 30 years on from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. This is an opportunity for a renewed focus on positive action for greater inclusion, across the year, as we head towards the Valuable 500’s SYNC25 event in Tokyo, on December 3rd/4th 2025.
Our ultimate goal for the event is to create a fully inclusive workplace with fair representation and a zero engagement gap by empowering UK Boards of Companies to authentically represent the colleagues, customers, and communities they serve by supporting them to recruit, retain and develop individuals with disabilities (or lived experience).
Delegates will gain access to practical advice from leading organisations and develop tangible action plans for making disability inclusion a core part of their business strategies.
The details
When is it? The event will take place on Wednesday 26 February 2025, between 9:00AM and 5:30PM.

These experts, innovators, and advocates will share their insights, experiences, and practical solutions to help you advance your inclusion efforts and drive meaningful change in your organisation.

The Action Plan is a key outcome of the ActionAble 2025 Summit, enabling your organisation to help your colleagues and customers, and track progress in disability inclusion for 2025 and beyond.
To ensure you leave with a Disability Inclusion Action Plan tailored to your organisation’s needs, we’ve created an ActionAble 2025 Planner. This guide will help you identify the sessions and exhibitors based on the challenges your organisation is facing, and capture insights during the event.

Sara Weller
The ImpactMatch team are so pleased that we have had the opportunity to work with Sara and Vic and all the incredible partners on this crucial agenda for society and for the UK.
Despite the workplace becoming more diverse than ever, disability remains one of its last taboos. there is only 1 board member within the FTSE 100 that has disclosed a disability in company annual reporting.
The one boardroom member reported is Sara Weller, a non-executive director of BT, Chair of the Money and Pensions Service and an established business and public sector leader, who has lived with progressive multiple sclerosis for 15 years.
Sara, who is spearheading ActionAble, says:
This event is about driving real action and impact not words. Talking about diversity only gets you so far. Our aim is to equip businesses with the tools and support they need to transform the workplace. I am amazed how all these leading organisations are joining forces for one day of action, to give CEOs and their teams the tools to make 2025 a year to step-change disability inclusion across the UK….next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. It is a pioneering moment but, in the business world, there needs to be a renewed sense of urgency to provide the right frameworks to empower people with a disability and help their places of work become more representative of wider society.
