Improving and enriching the lives of disabled people through training and technology.

About us

Here at Everyone Can, we help disabled people to gain independence through the power of technology. Through training and assistive technology, we help disabled people to communicate, access technology, control their environment and have fun! At our Technology & Gaming centre based in Sale, South Manchester we offer a range of services to disabled people. We carry out assessments where we learn what a person wishes to achieve and how their disability is holding them back, this could be for them to speak, to use a computer or to play video games. We then match technology to their needs and help them achieve their goals and ultimately help them gain independence! We also hold free weekly gaming sessions for disabled children and adults. With our state of the art gaming suite we have four huge screens for multiplayer games, a driving wheel, virtual reality stations, an old-school arcade machine and then a number of accessible gaming stations designed to quickly get disabled gamers set up and gaming alongside others! Our gaming sessions are for children and adults with any disability – for physically disabled people who may struggle to use a regular gaming controller we use assistive technology and match it to their needs. For gamers with neurodiverse disabilities such as Autism, Asperger’s etc. it is about helping improve their social skills, helping them gain confidence, make friends and game together –we truly have seen the power of gaming at our centre! We also offer an outreach service so if you require an assessment but can’t get to our centre in Manchester we will look at ways of coming out to you. Our charity’s aim is to enable access to technologies and to develop the skills and confidence to help disabled people move ahead in life and become more independent.

    It was a pleasure to have PXC come along and support our charity, as well as having the opportunity to demonstrate some our work, showing how games can be made accessible and how gaming can be used to improve the quality of life for so many people with such diverse abilities.

    Yesterday’s event was definitely a career highlight for me as I joined my colleagues from the PXC Change team at the Everyone Can gaming centre for our Give Something Back day. I've been volunteering at Everyone Can for the past seven months. In that time I’ve been able to see firsthand the impact this charity has on individuals and their families. For those unfamiliar, Everyone Can offers free gaming sessions and assistive technology assessments to disabled individuals, all at no cost. Our day began with a session where we learned about the charity’s services, saw demonstrations from Andrew Bromilow & David Eley on their assistive technologies, and enjoyed a team building gaming session. Did you know you can play golf with just eye movement? And Minecraft using your feet?! The afternoon was spent giving back through a deep clean of the centre. By the end of the day, the place was spotless, and I couldn’t have been prouder of the team’s efforts! A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made the day great. The enthusiasm and dedication was everything! I am still buzzing, I had an incredible time. I look forward to spending more time with my team, and fundraising for this wonderful cause. If anyone is interested in booking the centre for a corporate team-building session like ours, please send me a direct message. #EveryoneCanGame #PXC #GiveSomethingBack #TeamBuilding
