National Ablepreneurs® Day

September 16th 2026 will be the first ever National Ablepreneurs® Day.  It is a recognition day dedicated to celebrating and empowering disabled and chronically ill entrepreneurs. Held on 16th September, it shines a spotlight on the innovation, creativity and determination of entrepreneurs who build businesses while navigating additional barriers that many never see.

The day exists to highlight their contribution to the economy and the wider business community — not despite their disabilities or long-term conditions, but alongside them. It’s also a reminder that entrepreneurship can be a powerful space for inclusion, accessibility and opportunity when the right support and awareness are in place.

National Ablepreneurs Day champions resilience, belonging and legacy. It encourages people across the UK to recognise and uplift disabled founders, share their stories, and help create a business landscape where every entrepreneur has the chance to thrive.
