EVERY LITTLE WILL HELP
Donor: I'm sorry my donation was so small.

Catie: If the Crowdfunder closed with that amount short of qualifying for match-funding then I would have been disappointed!

Even a fiver will help so please pledge what you can at:

It was natural, as a Social Technologist diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, to use tech in my home and daily life to make my life easier.

My Crowdfunder campaign is over halfway to the modest stretch target of £500. Once I reach that target NatWest will match fund it!

A NEW PODCAST IS ON IT’S WAY!

My NatWest Crowdfunder project has reached it’s first target in just 5 days!

The next target is £500 and is actually worth twice that - as NatWest will match-fund my project if I reach that!

‘Living, Enabled’ is a new tech show for anyone living with a disability or chronic illness, their carers, friends and family.

I have Multiple Sclerosis myself and Stacey, my wife, has Fibromyalgia. We also battle anxiety and fatigue.

We use technology in our Smart Home to make life easier. The Internet of course makes getting support and completing tasks like re-ordering medication much less arduous.

We also use canes, a wheelchair, a mobility scooter and drive an automatic car to stay mobile and independent.

‘Living, Enabled’ will include news and announcements on products and services designed for our target audience.

The show will also feature reviews, how-to guides, audience feedback and technical questions from our audience.

The first full episode of ‘Living, Enabled’ is scheduled to be released on Monday 6th April 2020!

We’re now reaching out to professionals and businesses to support the Crowdfunder

Woohoo. My NatWest 'Back Her Business' Crowdfunder project is now live!

I am launching a new podcast called Living, Enabled. It’s a new tech show for anyone living with a disability or chronic illness, their carers, friends and family.

I have Multiple Sclerosis myself and Stacey, my wife, has Fibromyalgia. We use technology in our Smart Home to make life easier.

I now have to raise £250 in the next 28 days to actually get the money, then at least £500 to get it matched by NatWest.

The stretch target is £10k to be able to focus on content gathering, improved production, marketing and sustainability.
