We’re live at #WebSummit2018 talking about our modular fully customisable wheelchair. As well as helping us change the lives of 70M wheelchair users please help us change the lives of 40K #LEGO wheelchair users too! Click here to vote: ideas.lego.com/projects/5396f…

Since the dawn of the LEGO Universe over 4B LEGO people have been born. We estimate that over 40,000 LEGO minifigures need to use a wheelchair but there’s only one type of LEGO wheelchair! Vote now to change this: Click on ideas.lego.com/projects/5396f… to make LEGO Wheelwear real!

@timcourtney please approve our modular wheelchair LEGO idea and help transform the lives of over 40,000 legopeople who need to use a wheelchair!

Looking back at personal favourite projects from my "Five Years in the Making"... 2018 - Two years of working with @HackOnWheels resulting in the first modular, customisable wheelchair - then getting to present the project, and a Generative Design wheelchair concept at #AULondon

Limb different #TommyGirl FTW! As someone with a congenital limb difference, I’ve been adapting to things my entire life! My 1st time trying #TommyAdaptive, I couldn’t hide my excitement that something was adapted FOR ME! #TommyPartner usa.tommy.com/tommy-adaptive

@differencenorth @guardian Press a lever to swap in different: 1. front wheels to easily wheel on sand, snow, offroad. 2. colour / shape seats for fashion. 3. backrests so you dont have a heavy one when your wheeling but have ergonomic support when your watching tv etc

Back from my Twitter hols, #FeelingFresh, saw @HackOnWheels in @guardian thought u were #amazing!!!

Episode two is out yo! Hear about the work @HackOnWheels is doing to customise #wheelchairs, how @Gatwick_Airport went autism-friendly, and why special guest @RaymondAntrobus feels poetry has a place in deaf schools. ow.ly/1PVQ30m8pur

What a week! Fab feature on the amazing work of @HackOnWheels disrupting wheelchair design with tech bit.ly/2NSVoga and announced as a 2018 New Radicals winner bit.ly/2xiOF5P 🎉#ProudFunder

A new wheelchair company that puts as much emphasis on value for money as unique design - hardly surprising that it was started by a wheelchair user. I look forward to giving their chairs a test-drive! 👊 @HackOnWheels #Disability theguardian.com/theobserver/20…

@SocialTechTrust @socialtechguide @nesta_uk @snowdontrust Great article on us in @MetroUK mentioning your support for us! We wouldn’t have made any wheelchairs without you - thank you!

@nominet @SocialTechTrust @socialtechguide @snowdontrust @nesta_uk check out your mention in metro.co.uk/2018/09/18/hac… Your credit is well deserved - we wouldn’t have made any wheelchairs without your support. Thank you!

Great article on us in @MetroUK ! “Glasses wearers have control over every aspect of their of their design and are offered a product that caters to their individual needs. Yet most wheelchair users are still expected to make use of a standard model” @cellule_studio @SteveCox3D
