Our friends over at Enabled by Design (EbD) have been very busy indeed as they have just been accepted onto Innovation Exchange's Next Practice programme, which aims to tackle the problem of innovative ideas that struggle for the resources to sustain or scale by bringing people together to grow help grow third sector innovations.
For those of you who don't know, EbD supports anyone looking to make adjustments to their lives through the use of assistive equipment be it as a result of disability, injury or personal identified need. They aim to make independent living more accessible through the use of clever and stylish modern design.
The Innovation Exchange programme that EbD have been accepted for also includes seed funding through NESTA’s Innovation Fund, which the EbD team will be using to build an innovation pipeline website, where users can share their frustrations (or loves) of different gadgets, gizmos and equipment and work with others to suggest solutions and how improvements can be made.For a better idea of what EbD are working towards, you can find their offical post here and below is a selection of photos of what a kitchen designed by EbD might look like:
Congratulations to everyone at EbD and we're looking forward to seeing what you get up to next!
