The Research Institute for Disabled Consumers (RiDC) is a UK registered charity based in London, dedicated to conducting inclusive research and user testing that helps disabled and older people make informed choices about products and services. Operating from Impact Hub Euston, the charity maintains a consumer research panel of over 4,000 disabled and older people who contribute real-world insights to their work.RiDC publishes unbiased reviews, information and guidance on mobility-related products and services, covering stairlifts, homelifts, mobility scooters, manual and powered wheelchairs, wheelchair accessible vehicles, car adaptations including hoists, ramps and platform lifts, and accessible electric car charging. Their car search database includes accessibility measurements to help disabled drivers find suitable vehicles, and their research spans topics from older drivers to family cars for disabled children.As a charity holding Information Standard certification, RiDC provides research and consultancy services to major organisations including Motability, Network Rail and BT, while maintaining editorial independence in their consumer guidance. For people researching mobility equipment purchases, RiDC offers a valuable independent resource, with reviews and guides based on real testing by disabled users rather than manufacturer claims. Their work helps bridge the information gap for consumers navigating the often complex mobility equipment market.
