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

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.

A digital illustration depicting an inclusive live music scene in a small venue. In the foreground, a wheelchair user with short brown hair and large over-ear headphones faces the stage, enjoying the performance. A hydration bottle with a long straw is attached to their wheelchair, symbolising practical accessibility needs. They are wearing casual clothes — an orange T-shirt, blue trousers, and trainers — and appear relaxed and engaged. In the background, a guitarist performs under soft stage lighting, with a microphone stand nearby and a silhouetted audience watching. The stage is framed by rigging and spotlights, creating a lively gig atmosphere. The overall colour palette is warm and inviting, evoking the energy and intimacy of a grassroots music event. Overlay text on the right side reads: “Small Venue Accessibility: Tips for Disabled Music Fans.” The image conveys inclusivity, empowerment, and the joy of live music for disabled audiences.
