Suffolk-based National Disability and Carers Card Scheme launches exclusive RADAR key
A Suffolk social enterprise supporting 100,000 disabled people and carers has launched an exclusive RADAR key providing access to more than 10,000 locked disabled toilets nationwide.
The National Disability and Carers Card Scheme, which launched in Woodbridge in 2019, was founded by carers who understand the daily challenges of living with a disability and is dedicated to increasing accessibility and opportunity across the country.
The National Disability Card and National Carers Card provide a trusted visual identification tool for disabled people in the UK as well as their carers and are accepted at more than 500 venues including leisure facilities, attractions and cinemas.
The new five-lever mortice RADAR lock key is available to all card holders and provides a high-quality, secure, and accessible solution for disabled people, with an ergonomic shield-shaped handle for an easy, comfortable grip and a built-in keyring hole.
Director of the scheme Edward Herbert said: “Access to disabled facilities is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
“Our new RADAR key has been meticulously designed to ensure quality, security, and ease of use for those who need it most.
“By making these keys available exclusively to verified National Disability and Carers Card holders, we are safeguarding accessible toilets for genuine users and enhancing public confidence in the scheme.
“The National Disability and Carers Card Scheme remains committed to breaking down barriers and improving everyday experiences for disabled people and their carers across the UK.”
You can apply for a National Disability Card or National Carers Card online by providing proof of eligibility.
The card gives you access to a range of concessions and discounts as well as lanyards and the exclusive RADAR key.
The key is available for just £5.75 (zero VAT) for National Disability Card holders and can be ordered directly from the scheme’s website.
