Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 16:19 · Archive
The Accessible Living Company in Wallingford helps people adapt their homes and gardens to improve accessibility.
The Accessible Living Company, based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, was established by Darren Field to challenge traditional views on disability by making homes more accessible. The company aims to create more independent and inclusive environments, adapting homes and outdoor spaces to meet individual needs.
Mr Field, CEO of the New Home Improvement Group, has more than 14 years in the industry. His experience working on DIY SOS projects and at Helen & Douglas House children's hospice, along with families living with disabilities, shaped the company's mission. These experiences led him to question whether people are disabled or if the environments around them create barriers.
The company tackles obstacles such as steep driveways, garden steps, uneven pathways and inaccessible outdoor spaces that can limit a person's ability to enjoy their home. It provides solutions including accessible driveways, patio ramps, inclusive outdoor spaces and accessible garden rooms. The company highlights that accessibility extends beyond disability; as people age or experience changes in mobility due to injury or illness, their needs may alter. It hopes to spark a local conversation about how thoughtful design can help more people remain independent and included.
