Duncan Edwards

Duncan Edwards manages the Disability Horizons Shop, where he focuses on sourcing practical, well-designed products that improve everyday life for disabled people. His work reflects lived experience rather than distant theory, shaped by family, not policy. His wife Clare, an artist and designer, co-founded Trabasack, best known for its original lap desk bag. After sustaining a spinal injury, Clare became a wheelchair user. That change brought a sharper perspective to her design work and turned personal need into creative drive. Trabasack grew from that focus — making useful, adaptable products that support mobility and independence. Their son Joe lives with Dravet syndrome, a rare and complex form of epilepsy. His condition brings day-to-day challenges that few families encounter, but it has also sharpened Duncan’s eye for what’s truly useful. From feeding aids to communication tools, he knows how the right product can make a small but vital difference. These experiences shape the decisions he makes as shop manager. It’s why he pays close attention to detail, asks hard questions about function and accessibility, and chooses stock with a deep awareness of what people actually need. Duncan’s role in the disability community is grounded, not performative. He doesn’t trade in vague ideals — he deals in things that work, because he’s spent years living with the frustrations of an environment that doesn’t always work for his family.

Volunteer in Disability Football – England Football Needs You

Entertaiment /

The England Football approached Disability Horizons because they know our community. Our readers are disabled people, their families, carers, friends, and colleagues – people who already understand that disabled people are just ordinary people who want the same things everyone else does, including the chance to play, contribute, and belong. That’s exactly the kind of volunteer disability football needs, and exactly why I’m proud to support this campaign. If you’ve ever wanted to give something back, this is a brilliant place to start.

From April 2026, Motability Will Monitor Every Journey You Make. No Opt-Out.

Lifestyle /

Motability vehicles are often described as a benefit. That framing misses what they actually are in day-to-day life.

For many disabled people, a Motability vehicle is how you get to hospital appointments that can’t be moved, or school placements that exist miles away because local options don’t meet access needs. It’s how people work, care for family, and manage routines that don’t follow a neat schedule.

That context matters when looking at the changes coming in 2026.

From April, new customers will be placed onto a driving monitoring system called DriveSmart. From July, new leases will include a 10,000-mile annual cap, with higher charges for going over. On paper, those changes might look administrative. In practice, they intersect directly with how disabled people live.

What Happened to MERU? How Cerebra Rescued a Vital Service for Disabled Children

Business /

MERU nearly vanished. The specialist charity that built the Bugzi wheelchair and designed switch-adapted toys for disabled children was caught up in the collapse of QEF — a 90-year-old organisation whose closure in 2025 affected many services and thousands of people across the disability sector. Cerebra stepped in to rescue MERU’s work and keep these vital services available to families.

Why Accessible Banking Still Fails Disabled People in the UK

Business /

Accessible banking remains a serious barrier for many disabled people in the UK. From inaccessible apps and rigid identity checks to account freezes triggered by disability-related spending, financial systems still exclude many customers. This article explains the real impact on daily life and disabled entrepreneurship, why the issue matters, and what accessible banking should look like.

Genuine brass RADAR NKS keys

Genuine RADAR Key Relaunch: Now £7.95 for Two Tested Keys

Advice, Offers /

The genuine RADAR key has been relaunched in a new brass-plated format, offering the same compatibility and reliability at a lower price. Having worked with Tom Gordon and The Radar Key Company for over a decade — and sold thousands of keys without a single one returned as faulty — we’re pleased to reduce our two-key pack from £9.95 to £7.95. Beyond manufacturing, the company remains invested in maintaining lock standards and supporting accessible toilet location information. Reliable access depends on both a key that works and accurate data about where it can be used.

Active Hands founders pitch gripping aids in the Dragons’ Den studio, products displayed on a workbench.

The Dragons Saw a Disability Story. They Missed a Global Business.

Business /

The TL:DR Active Hands is an extraordinary business. Almost twenty years old, clinically endorsed, with years of customer loyalty and an untapped international market. This is an established brand with global potential, not a niche disability project. All five Dragons declined to invest. The business isn’t weak; the Den was the wrong room. Active Hands

AI surveillance monitors shoppers in a charity shop while donated items are diverted into a waste bin.

Charity shops using AI to ban resellers are harming disabled people and low-income shoppers

Business /

How charity shops are using AI to target resellers I spotted this (click to watch clip, full video is below) yesterday: a ‘thrift warehouse’ publicly congratulating itself for using artificial intelligence to identify and block resellers. Not improve pricing. Not train staff. Not make online listings better. Just surveillance. The implication was familiar: resellers are
