    Ep 23 - How AbilityNet transforms lives through technology: 2024 Impact Report (AI Audio Summary)
    Mar 5 2025

    In this episode of The AbilityNet Podcast, AbilityNet's Mark Walker discusses the results of AbilityNet's 2024 Impact Report, in an audio summary of the key aspects of the report itself.

    We're always keen to learn about new technology and its possible value for older and disabled people, so this audio has been built using AI with voice clones for Mark and his co-host, Gwen Bakewell.

    It's a different way of communicating, so please let us know what you think.
