Designability

Designability is a national charity that enables disabled people to live with greater independence. Our expertise in person-centred design helps us create products and services with and for disabled people to improve and enrich their lives. Borne out of a partnership between the Royal United Hospital and the University of Bath in the 1960s, the charity is best known for its pioneering Wizzybug Loan Scheme which provides free, fun, powered wheelchairs called Wizzybugs to very young disabled children across the UK. To date, they have been loaned to over 1,500 children, typically aged from 14 months upwards.
