What we do

Abode Impact was created to deliver positive social impact for wheelchair users, their families and society by promoting the provision of high quality, accessible homes in the UK Private Rented Sector.

​

The Equality and Human Rights Commission in 2018 stated that 1 in 3 disabled people living in private rented homes were in unsuitable accommodation. Wheelchair users in unsuitable accommodation are four times more likely to be unemployed and needlessly require support from local government or their families, resulting in economic costs and social stress.

​

We don't believe it has to be this way. Backed by years of detailed research and collaboration with specialist organisations, landlords, investors and most importantly wheelchair users, we believe that accessible homes can form part of any housing portfolio, deliver good financial returns to investor stakeholders and create social value for tenants, their families and the community.

​

Our mission:​

​

1. To be a trusted advisor and partner to large corporate landlords seeking to include accessible homes within their property portfolio. 
    

2. To develop the UK's leading marketplace of accessible housing and wheelchair user families, helping to ensure more people can find the home that they love.
