We are pleased to share our 2024/2025 Annual Report (new window). Over the last year, we celebrated a truly remarkable milestone — our 40th anniversary and 100,000 people served across Canada. In the past fiscal year alone, we served over 11,300 persons with disabilities and there are many highlights to share:

  • Innovation: Our Makers Making Change Program delivered 3,872 assistive technology devices to people with disabilities, held 242 STEM events, and utilized 7,806 volunteers.
  • Assistive Technology: Nationally, Solutions served 5,943 individuals. We provided 1,715 disability supports through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services. Hearing Solutions provided 2,265 in-person appointments. And we had 2,201 inquiries come through our AT Help Desk.
  • Employment: Our employment programs across Canada supported 1,056 participants with disabilities and we launched a new employment program for youth with disabilities, Empower3D.
  • Digital Literacy: This year, 1,337 individuals from 42 cities across 7 provinces participated in our digital literacy programs. We provided a combined 5,920 hours of computer tutoring and tech support, and we helped 97% of our digital literacy participants enhance their employability.
  • Collaboration: Our Hacking for the Holidays campaign raised over $147,000 and through the campaign we adapted 2,058 toys and switches for kids with disabilities in Canada, we hosted 84 events and we engaged over 2,600 volunteers.

Four decades wouldn’t have been possible without your support. We owe a heartfelt thank you to all of our participants, volunteers, supporters, partners, and everyone who has been a part of our journey.
