Get Involved with #PurpleLightUp Resource

Starting Out

Front cover of Get Involved Resource

#PurpleLightUp is a global movement that celebrates and draws attention to the economic contribution of the 386 million disabled employees around the world.

PurpleSpace leads this movement as our mark of respect to the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) held annually on 3rd December, using the colour purple which is emblematic of disability, to drive the momentum for disability inclusion. 

This resource contains some areas with ideas to assist your plans to celebrate the economic contribution of disabled employees in the run up to, and on, 3rd December.  This resource can be distributed amongst colleagues, customers, suppliers, friends or family who would like to join the global Party with a Purpose.

We have also updated this document with additional resources which can also be found in our resource library, such as zoom backgrounds, graphics and a video brief template if you'd like to produce videos
