Über diesen Titel

In the recent webinar "Empowering Travel for All," Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce Chair, Julia Charlton, hosted Simon Sansome, founder of the Snowball Community, an app designed to rate and review venues based on accessibility. The discussion highlighted the prevalence of disability, affecting 1.3 billion people globally, and the significant barriers faced, particularly in terms of transportation and societal attitudes.Simon shared the remarkable milestones of Snowball, which has grown to almost 100,000 reviews, and his recognition in the UK as an influential advocate for accessibility. The app’s expansion plans include hiring 45 staff members as consultants and developing features like a filter system to enhance user experience. Simon's achievements were further recognized with awards like the SantanderX Global Award, and his recent participation at a major tech event in Barcelona opened global networking opportunities.While planning global expansion, Simon discussed the technical and linguistic adaptations required, particularly in Spain, with endorsements from major entities like Santander. The Snowball Community app is positioned to drive societal change, not just for people with disabilities, but also for older adults who face accessibility challenges. Simon's inspiration comes from his personal experiences and the drive to improve life for individuals with disabilities, underscoring a message that accessibility benefits all in society.
