DEMAND - a really inspirational organisation!

Congratulations David!

Thank you to all the people who participated in this event.

Just a quick reminder could all those entrants please continue with their fundraising and gather as many donations as possible before sending in their sponsorship money.

Pete is undertaking a 3200 mile bike ride at his own expense to raise money for us. He will be riding his Harley Davidson from Huddersfield to Croatia. Every penny that Pete raises will be helping DEMAND design and manufacture more bespoke equipment for disabled people. To sponsor Pete, please click here.

This event will be taking place this weekend.

On Wednesday 25th June our Designer, Jennifer Fee and Placement Student, Jodie Smart visited Polam Hall School in Darlington to lead a Design Workshop with a group of Upper 4 students.

The students were shown a short presentation on DEMAND and given a design brief for one of our current projects. They then had just over 3 hours to design and present their idea.

Jennifer and Jodie were thoroughly impressed with the diligence and enthusiasm all the students showed throughout the day, asking pertinent and relevant questions.

After a presentation from each of the groups a winning design was chosen. The winners showed a great understanding of the manufacturing methods required to build their product and chose suitable materials, which were all presented to a very high standard on their concept board.

Winners - Serena Bury, Brittany Farmer, Lydia Beiken, and Alice Elliot

We had a small number of runners for this brand new 10k race event. Everyone ran exceptionally well, and put in a great effort raising money for us. If you haven’t sponsored a runner, but would still like to make a donation, click here.

The Flora London Marathon was a success! We had 6 runners in total who all ran exceptionally well. If you haven’t sponsored a runner, but would like to make a donation, please click here
