Cross platform mobile apps developer, Ravensoft, has created an app for Accessible Event Promotions (AEP) that allows users to search for all accessible arts, community, cultural and leisure events in the North West – for example cinema screenings with subtitles or art exhibitions with sign language guided tours.
AEP is a not for profit company led by disabled and deaf people to promote accessible arts, community, cultural and leisure events for disabled and deaf people, developed through the support of Awards for All from the Big Lottery and UnLtd.
Available on the Android platform, it is currently being developed for cross-platform use.
Andy Nugent, Director at Ravensoft, commented: “We were very pleased to be approached by AEP to develop the app.
“We think this app will be an incredibly useful resource to many people and look forward to further developing it to include events all across the UK.”
Mickey Fellowes, executive director at AEP, added: “We chose to work with Ravensoft because they immediately recognised how important an app like this could be.
“The app has gone far beyond what we hoped to achieve. It has given us the potential to reach far more people, particularly those who don’t use computers.
“Our overall company strategy is to offer people with access needs an easy to use central service for them to find social and community events that meet their needs. The app does this beautifully - it works better than the website - and we are now looking at re-working the website to offer similar functionality to the app.”
As well as working with clients such as Adidas, Imerja, Atkins, i-Toc and Shozu, Ravensoft works with a number of creative agencies on a white label basis and is based at Manchester Science Park.
