Make CIC's vision is to see people turn their passion into prosperity. The mission is to provide services; support people; facilitate resources and networks in order that people can live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. This will be done by providing affordable, community-focused creative work environments; nurture people's curiosity to learn skills; facilitate access to opportunities and resources; bring people together by building networks and hosting events; as well as transform the environments around us and ultimately people's lives. To stay true to this mission we will act with a set of values in mind; to be curious, constructive and transformative. Curious We will be endlessly curious, always thinking, 'How could we do this differently?' Encouraging and inspiring independent thinking and challenges to the norms of 'This is how it's always been done.' Removing barriers by cherishing and treasuring difference. And making our creations in the new thinking spaces we then find. This helps us to break down barriers and disrupt the norm. Constructive We are ambitious about making things memorable. In what we make, repurpose, put on and deliver we are conscious of developing the effectiveness and well-being of our community. By teaching and sharing skills, building things and ensuring the opportunities for the greater good of generations to come. We will be around the table, constructively engaging in the conversations of our time. Transformative We work consistently to be part of positively transforming the places where we are and the lives of people within that place. Through the tangible impact of being embedded, we see Make as a responsible and long-term encourager of positive changes, with self-sufficiency.

SpecialEffect's mission is to enable people of all ages with even the most severe physical challenges to enjoy gaming and other creative, communication and leisure activities through access to innovative assistive technology. Our strategy is to optimise the benefits of the experience and expertise we gain from our intensive in-person assessment and support process, to make as powerful global impact as possible. We do this by operating on three levels: Tier 1 - To provide rapid-response, multi-professional assessments, and life-long specialist support to people of all ages with severe physical challenges, including young people with an immunodeficiency, completely free of charge. Each individual is provided with a customised assistive control set-up enabling them to access leisure technology such as video games, utilising whatever hardware and software best matches their needs; or a telepresence robot where that is the most appropriate solution. Tier 2 - To share what we learn through carrying out our Tier 1 work with developers, professionals and disabled people, by providing freely available video case studies and training resources online, as well as illustrating best practice by creating our own free-to-play accessible games and software. Tier 3 - To collaborate with hardware and software developers to help make video games and other digital entertainment software more accessible to people with severe physical challenges 'at source'.
