- Blue Badge Style, a new app for disabled people “who seek out the coolest establishments that are accessible for less-able bodied people”. The Blue Badge Style website was launched in 2007 by Fiona Jarvis, a woman living with MS, with the aim of creating “a community of like-minded people for whom style and disability are not mutually exclusive”. Now she is launching an app for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry phones and iPads, which enables users to find and rate the coolest accessible venues – including restaurants, bars, shops, cafes, theatres – in the UK and major European cities. Jarvis said:
Mobility, or the lack of it, doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my sense of style, but I do want to know what to expect before I arrive at a venue. The Blue Badge Style app means that people with limited mobility and equally importantly, their friends, don’t have to be surprised or embarrassed by a lack of accessibility or facilities at a cool venue.
