Focus on Disability

What Focus on Disability does

Focus on Disability is a UK-based non-profit information portal that provides free guides, articles, and curated product recommendations for disabled people, the elderly, and their carers. The site covers a wide thematic surface including benefits and allowances (DLA, PIP, ESA, Universal Credit, Housing Benefit), disabilities and medical conditions, mental health resources, legal advice signposting, disabled travel and motoring, employment, government services, treatments and therapies, and art/sport/leisure activities. Content is organised across roughly a dozen advice categories and is supported by a regularly updated blog and a dedicated Northern Ireland resources section.

The platform is built on WordPress and is structured as a content-led website with three monetised affiliate product categories: Disability Aids and Mobility Equipment, Herbal, Health and Alternative Therapy Products, and Amazon Disability Aids and Mobility Equipment. The site does not sell its own products; instead, it links out to third-party retailers such as Amazon UK and Complete Care Shop via affiliate programmes managed through the Awin network. A curated best-sellers block on the homepage surfaces categories including overbed tables, radar keys, kettle tippers, rocker knives, commodes, tens machines, shower stools, and grab rails.

The business model is affiliate marketing revenue, supplemented by light operational footprint: a team of 8 employees, no paid product, no app, no API, and no disclosed funding. Go-to-market is purely product-led growth through content and SEO, with affiliate referrals as the conversion mechanism. The site was originally created by David Cross and underwent a full redesign in March 2020 by Lesley Clarke Web Design. The site is currently led by David Cross as founder and Lesley Clarke as web designer, and operates without venture capital or parent company ownership.
