Products and advice for personal safety and independent living on show in West Midlands (UK)

25 March – 6 April, The Mall, Sutton Coldfield
Products will be on show in The Mall throughout the week, together with workshops demonstrating how adopting and using simple devices and gadgets can have a profound effect upon improving the lives of people living alone or requiring increasing support in particular. The Gadget Hub, as it will be known, has been inspired by Richard Haynes of The Community Gateway and is being delivered in partnership with Our Place Community Hub. Volunteers are being recruited to oversee the project and funding is being sought to support its progression into a successful retail business. It is hoped that Gadget Hub (which has been selected for the finals of the Mall’s Retail Factor competition) will become a regular presence in The Mall. Press release (PDF) for details.
