Man driving a car with seatbelt on, with text “Helping you drive smart from day one” promoting Motability DriveSmart

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

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.

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.

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

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

The Unmakeable Bed: Why Sales Should Solve Problems

My journey from a welfare rights advisor who “hated salesmen” to a business owner who values an honest sale began with a simple lesson: good sales is about helping, not just selling. This was brought into sharp focus by a customer named “Joan,” who was sold a stylish platform bed she couldn’t physically use. The salesperson failed to consider her needs, leaving her with an impossible-to-make bed and a lot of frustration—a classic case of “flog it and fly.”

In this post, I explore why this happens and how a problem-solving approach benefits everyone. I also share practical solutions for Joan’s dilemma, including innovative zip-on sheets and other gadgets that can make any bed more accessible. Join me as I discuss how we can turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for better design and smarter solutions.
