Designability opens applications for members of the public to apply for an accessible pushchair
Disability charity Designability has announced that applications for an accessible pushchair are now open, and are providing 20 of them free of charge.
Those who could benefit from an accessible pushchair, such as manual wheelchair users in the UK that care for a young child who requires the use of a pram or pushchair, and are happy to provide some photos, videos and feedback on how it is being used, are invited to apply.
The devices are not compatible to powered wheelchairs.
This isn’t just limited to parents or carers, Designability invites those that help to care for a child and who may use it a less frequently, including aunties, uncles, and grandparents.
The deadline for applying for a pushchair is 17 February 2025 and the charity hopes to begin handovers and shipments from March onwards.
Interested applicants can complete a short form, then someone in the Designability communications team will be in touch in due course with the outcome.
Designability is a charity that uses person-centred design to create products with and for disabled people to improve and enrich their lives.
The charity recently delivered an accessible pushchair to its first customer, a mother of three and a wheelchair user.
