The Social Ideas Podcast: Sociability - helping people find accessible places

In this episode we meet Matt Pierri, 2025 Social Innovation Prize Winner and founder of Sociability. Sociability is a mobile app and online platform which provides detailed accessibility information for venues across the UK, helping people with disabilities to travel confidently. Matt shares his journey since starting Sociability as a student project in 2019. We learn about the importance of accessibility information for those who need it, and about the 'purple pound': why it makes good business sense for venues to be accessible and to signal clearly.
