Work With Us — Disability Horizons
About Disability Horizons
Disability Horizons was founded in 2011 by Martyn Sibley and Srin Madipalli as the UK’s first disability lifestyle magazine run by disabled people, for disabled people. At its peak it reached over 700,000 readers a year.
In 2023 the magazine closed in its original form. The brand, shop and archive were transferred to Equip-Able Ltd, and Disability Horizons has continued under the editorship of Duncan Edwards — maintaining the archive, publishing new content, and carrying forward the original mission.
We currently reach around 15,000 readers a month and are actively growing.
Why Work With Us
Disabled people and their households represent around £250 billion of spending power in the UK annually — the Purple Pound. Yet most brands still fail to reach or represent this community meaningfully.
Disability Horizons gives you a trusted, editorial route to an engaged audience of disabled people, carers, family members and allies. Our readers actively seek products, services and information that improves independence and quality of life. They share what works.
What We Offer
Sponsored or editorial content
An article on our site about your brand, product or service — written by you, co-written, or fully produced by our team. Optimised for SEO, linking to your site from a high-authority domain with 15 years of history.
Newsletter advertising
Reach our subscriber list directly — banner placements in our regular newsletter or a dedicated send.
Sell through the shop
The Disability Horizons Shop (shop.disabilityhorizons.com) is a curated store selling independence aids, mobility products and adaptive accessories. If your product helps disabled people, we want to hear from you.
Press trips and destination coverage
We cover accessible travel. If you represent a destination, hotel or tourism body and want honest, expert coverage for a disabled audience, get in touch.
Product Development, Advice and Consultation
Duncan Edwards has been designing, manufacturing and selling disability products since 2007. He has worked with dozens of disabled entrepreneurs — from people bringing a first product to market to individuals who’ve designed something specifically for a family member and want to know if it could help others.
That experience is available to you.
Whether you’re at the idea stage, about to launch, or trying to reach a disability audience for the first time, we can help with:
Honest product feedback from a disability community perspective — does it work, who is it really for, what needs changing
User testing and consultation — reaching disabled people who can evaluate your product before launch
Route to market advice — how to sell through disability-focused channels including our own shop, eBay, Amazon and beyond
Manufacturing and sourcing guidance — Duncan has hands-on experience of small-run production, packaging and fulfilment for niche disability products
Editorial support — turning your product story into content that reaches the right audience
Mentoring — for disabled entrepreneurs or carers who have a product idea and don’t know where to start
The disability community has always shared knowledge freely. This is that spirit made practical – the kind of help Duncan has given informally for years, now available as part of what Disability Horizons offers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Working With Disability Horizons
Can I submit a guest article to Disability Horizons?
Yes. We welcome guest articles from companies, designers, founders and organisations whose work supports accessibility, inclusion or independent living for disabled people. Articles should offer useful insight, practical information or a genuine story rather than simple product promotion.
Do you accept sponsored content?
Yes. Disability Horizons offers sponsored content, editorial features and collaboration articles. We can publish articles written by your team, co-write them with you, or create the article for you from your notes, product information or interview answers.
What types of companies do you work with?
We work with product manufacturers, inclusive design teams, start-ups, charities, accessible travel providers and brands improving accessibility, usability or disability representation. The main requirement is that your product, service or story has a clear benefit for disabled people.
What content do you not accept?
We do not accept gambling, adult, vape, crypto or financial-trading content. We also reject content that presents disability as tragedy, charity or inspiration, makes unverified medical claims, or has no clear value for disabled readers.
Can disabled entrepreneurs work with Disability Horizons for free?
In many cases, yes. If you are a disabled founder or early-stage start-up with a genuine story, product or lived-experience innovation to share, we may be able to feature you without charge.
How much does it cost to work with Disability Horizons?
Costs depend on the type of partnership. Larger organisations can choose from paid options including evergreen articles, newsletter promotion, social sharing, resources listings and sidebar advertising. Fees are agreed clearly before publication.
Can you help with product feedback or user testing?
Yes. We can help with product feedback, user testing, accessibility consultation and route-to-market advice. This is especially useful for companies developing products for disabled people who want informed feedback before launch.
Can my product be sold through the Disability Horizons Shop?
Possibly. The Disability Horizons Shop is a curated store focused on independence aids, mobility products and adaptive accessories. If your product helps disabled people in daily life, we are happy to consider it for the shop.
Do you cover accessible travel and destinations?
Yes. Disability Horizons publishes accessible travel content, including destination coverage, hotel features and tourism partnerships. We are interested in honest, useful information that helps disabled people make informed travel choices.
