Innovate Trust

Insight

We are a Charity based in Cardiff, supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities; we developed the Supported Living concept in the UK, opening the first ‘Group Home’ in 1974. Today, we’ve expanded our Digital work, adapting, and creating Smart devices that utilise the Internet of Things, Smart Houses and Environments, that increase control, push boundaries, and expand independence. We recently developed an app, ‘Insight’, to expand Digital Inclusion and enable individuals to post photos & videos, and expand communication with their families, and friends. We offered membership of ‘Insight’ to anyone with a Learning Disability from March 2020; hugely expanding Digital Inclusion, events, activities, and opportunities, ‘Insight’ has now become a crucial and free online Community Resource for over 1500 individuals and organisations. ‘Insight’ currently offers members more than 80 live co-produced and Peer-led activities a week, backed-up with over 1500 pre-recorded video sessions, news, information, and further resources.
