Who we are
“We are a social enterprise based in Brighton, led by and serving a global digital community of blind and learning disabled individuals who embrace a growth mindset through discovery, learning, and co-creation.”
Our co-founders - Daniel and Danielle - draw on lived experiences of disability, and professional skills in community engagement. Daniel is a scientifically-minded blind person, with an interest in social entrepreneurship. Danielle is a sociable learning disabled person, with an interest in art, media, gaming, and self-advocacy.
What we do
Our community services and fields of interest are complementary to the value created by mentorship organisations, parent support groups, and training or employment support services.
Our fields of interest
We focus on developing analytical and digital skills that matter to blind people interested in science & technology, for example studying mathematics, practicing web design, or working in accounting.
In addition, we also develop social and media skills that matter to neurodiverse people interested in a joyful lifestyle & media.
Our community services
We offer varying levels of engagement and support for different stages of self-development. Our community services are tailoured to the interaction needs of individuals, and their level of disability awareness or learning style.

Daniel was an exceptional mentor to me. He is a great listener and he always tried to give the most informed answers possible to my questions and he was willing to share his personal experiences with me during our partnership. He was also a great role model for me in terms of what a visually impaired person can achieve. his support and finding about his experiences helped me a lot to build my confidence and encouraged me to achieve my ambitions. - Zehra Yunel
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity you provided Sara last summer. Working with you has had a profound impact on Sara, and you have forever influenced her life. Following her work experience, Sara rediscovered her passion for programming and technology, realising that contributing to a more inclusive world is one of her deepest aspirations. As a result, she has applied to Digital Media and Computer Games Development programs and has already received five offers. - Graça Carvalho
