CEO Adrian Geissel highlights that the app’s six years of development have focused on data privacy and user experience, aiming to inspire greater participation in outdoor activities for health and wellbeing. Able Active is interactive, allowing users to rate and review amenities and contribute information on suitable parking, helping both peers and providers improve accessibility.
“Able Active offers a platform for gathering rich information to help disabled users plan activities
The app details surfaces, distances, durations, and more, and offers real-time weather and safety information. Users can record and share favourite routes, fostering a community of support and collaboration. Project lead Sarah Kerrigan emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge to help others enjoy nature and being active.

This is a vision shared by Sarah Kerrigan, project lead for Able Active, who adds “I love the outdoors, but know from personal experience how little information is available on the accessibility of trails and other amenities. Working with Able Active allows me to make sure that the app and platform meets the needs of our users and for those who, like me, also want to share their knowledge to help others benefit from nature and being active.
