DEMAND - Design and Manufacture for Disability

DEMAND - Design and Manufacture for Disability DEMAND is a charity dedicated to helping people with disabilities that require bespoke equipment to help them with their everyday lives. What Do We Do?

We transform the lives of people with disabilities – of all ages and with all types of disability. DEMAND’s engineering and design expertise enable us to manufacture bespoke equipment that helps people with disabilities. From Holmfirth & Herfordshire, our team of 23 staff work with individuals to design and manufacture equipment that makes their daily life easier or helps them to enjoy sport and l

eisure activities. Those with special requirements frequently find there is no ‘off- the- shelf’ solution. The donations we receive enable us to dedicate the time necessary to design solutions specific to an individual and provide the equipment free of charge. How Do We Do It? We visit people at their home, school, or work to assess their needs. We include their Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist and family/helper/carer to ensure that everything is taken into account. Our team of designers begin the design process and manufacture a prototype. At the next visit we test to find any unforeseen problems. Once we have arrived at a solution that matches the individual’s needs, the product is finished to a high standard.

The ability of these dogs never ceases to amaze...

Years after our collaboration with Medical Detection Dogs designing a suitable 'test carousel' that allows these dogs to train they're still pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Watch to find out about these special pooches skills!

What can we say? We just love dogs! 🐶💛

We’ve been testing out some cool prototypes (thanks to other amazing designers!) to figure out what works – and what doesn’t – for disabled dog owners who need a little extra help handing out those well-deserved treats.

Our goal? Finding a reliable, repeatable, and readily available dog treat delivery system that makes treat time easier for everyone.

Stay tuned for more updates – and maybe a few funny moments from our testing adventures! 🐕

New Sensory Chair for Collett School! 🎉

We recently delivered a brand-new sensory chair to our friends at Collett School, who have been using the original version for nearly 10 years!

Fun fact: Collett School originally collaborated with us to create the sensory chair design, and we’re so proud to continue this journey together! 💙

The new chair is just as comfy as the old green version but has a big upgrade – it’s much easier to repair, meaning it’ll support their students for even longer.

Help us change lives.

Most of the designs in our catalogue have a waiting list. Finding the funding for specialist assistive kit like the FREASEL and Sensory Shell Chair can be a real challenge – especially for families of disabled children, underfunded schools and social care services.

If can cover the costs of any of our specialist designs, it's sure to make a world of difference to someone on our waiting list.

Eben’s Trike Adventures 💙🚲

Eben’s outgrowing his trike, but we’re not letting that slow him down! We’ve modified a bigger one for him that he can use at school and home.

Do you have experience with trikes used as a mobility devices? Or know someone who could benefit from one? We’d love to connect!

Let’s explore options together to help even more families enjoy the freedom and fun these trikes bring.

💬 Get in touch with us today – we’d love to hear from you!

From all of us at DEMAND, we wish you a very happy festive season and all the best for 2025! ❤

We couldn’t keep the cogs of our workshop whirring and generating goodness without your support.

Here’s to creating even more game-changing designs. Cheers!

Making a difference - one custom jig at a time! 💪

We recently printed a custom drilling jig to make sure we get it just right while modifying our client’s walking frame.

Reinforcing it and adding larger wheels means this frame suits some very specific needs that aren’t met by any other frames on the market.
