- Advocacy
- Charity
- Community
We work with charities, device makers, app developers and specialist retailers around the world to make assistive technology easier to find, trust and use.
Each partner is a recognised specialist in accessibility, so the products and guidance we surface are grounded in real lived experience.
From advocacy charities to device makers, our partners span Europe and North America and understand the needs of their communities.
By working openly with partners we can broaden choice, share knowledge and keep raising the bar for accessible technology.
