What Happened to MERU? How Cerebra Rescued a Vital Service for Disabled Childrenby Duncan Edwards on 14/03/2026 at 4:56 pm Early mobility and accessible play can shape how disabled children interact with the world around them. The recent transfer of MERU’s specialist engineering work to Cerebra protects important services, including the Bugzi powered wheelchair loan scheme and the development of switch-adapted toys. These tools allow children with limited movement to explore their surroundings, experiment with cause and effect, and take part in play on their own terms. Drawing on research and personal experience of raising a child with complex needs, this article explains why early access to mobility and assistive technology matters, how families can access Cerebra services, and how practical solutions such as switches, mounting arms, and flexible trays can help children interact with toys, tablets, and sensory activities more independently.

- Genuine RADAR Key Relaunch: Now £7.95 for Two Tested Keysby Duncan Edwards on 03/03/2026 at 9:12 am
The genuine RADAR key has been relaunched in a new brass-plated format, offering the same compatibility and reliability at a lower price. Having worked with Tom Gordon and The Radar Key Company for over a decade — and sold thousands of keys without a single one returned as faulty — we’re pleased to reduce our two-key pack from £9.95 to £7.95. Beyond manufacturing, the company remains invested in maintaining lock standards and supporting accessible toilet location information. Reliable access depends on both a key that works and accurate data about where it can be used.
