Mencap - Inspiring Connected Living

07 May 2021

Vodafone Business Ventures teamed up with Mencap to develop a solution that would enhance the quality of life for people with learning difficulties – as well as provide support workers with complimentary tools to use when delivering care.

The foundation of the solution we co-created to meet the charity’s very specific needs now forms the basis of our Connected Living service.

Just like Connected Living, our Mencap solution leveraged simple yet powerful technology to provide people with learning disabilities with more tailored and personalised support. It was designed to help care recipients feel safer and more in control of their own environment; and enable care givers to work more efficiently and flexibly.
