An annual student-lead initiative in the University of Sheffield where we invite students across different studies creating innovative solutions for individuals with disabled needs. Hackcessible is a 6 week long competition where we find people with disabled needs, known as challengers, to share their problems and propose a challenge to students to build an assistive device or prototype to help with their needs. Hackcessible has been running since 2018. It has brought challengers, engineering students, designers together to co-develop impactful solutions.

Go Kids Go have been running wheelchair skills training for young wheelchair users since 1990. The training is designed to enable independence and to help ensure that the young people are able to reach their full potential. We run workshops for manual and powered wheelchair users. Some of the skills we teach on the workshop include back wheel balancing, road safety, manoeuvring skills and emergency evacuation as well as an introduction to wheelchair basketball. We bring extra wheelchairs so that parents, siblings and friends can join in with the activities. We also run disability/wheelchair awareness workshops in mainstream schools for pupils and staff. TV presenter Ade Adepitan MBE, learnt wheelchair skills with us as a young man and is now a patron of Go Kids Go.
