Scope


We’ve partnered with Scope to make good things happen for people living with disability

Did you know there are 11 million people with a disability in the UK? That’s why, at Virgin Media we’ve partnered with Scope. Together we aim to transform the lives of thousands of disabled people and their families, through projects with technology at their heart. That’s because we both believe digital technology has the power to give disabled people a voice, help them live independently and unlock education and
work opportunities.

Connecting families

In partnership with Scope, we aim to use our digital know-how to help parents of disabled children connect with each another up and down the country. By sharing experiences, they can grow stronger together, be better informed and more resilient to everyday challenges.

Inspiring independence

We’re working to give disabled people access to technology that helps them communicate, control their home environment and remove barriers that hold them back.
