Built with disabled makers, not for them.
Enable Studios CIC is a London-based community interest company that teaches young disabled people the skills to create with emerging technology.
Our Social Impact Plan, in brief
Enable Studios CIC is a London-based community interest company that teaches young disabled people the skills to create with emerging technology. Our Social Impact Plan sets out our pilot programme: a six-month tutoring and mentorship course for disabled young people aged 16+, delivered initially across Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Hackney, covering filmmaking, directing, cinematography, AI for creativity, and immersive technologies.
The programme culminates in two public-facing outputs produced entirely by participants: a short film and a digital exhibition. These outputs are the proof point of the model — that with the right access, tuition and mentorship, disabled young people can produce technically ambitious, original creative work and be seen doing it.
How Enable Studios started
In 2025, after finishing his master's in Creative Computing at UAL, our founder Olawale Okunrinboye recognised that disabled young Londoners were being marginalised in the ever-changing world of technological creativity. Enable Studios exists to close that gap — building a studio where access, tuition and ambition sit side by side.
"Technology should adapt to people, not the other way round."
What we exist to do
We run six-month studio cohorts for young disabled creators, teaching immersive tech, filmmaking, sound, design and creative coding. Every cohort ends with a public film and a digital exhibition — credited, archived, celebrated. Participation is free, forever.
A non-profit-distributing Community Interest Company
- Asset lock: everything we own — equipment, funds, IP — is legally locked to our community mission. It can never be sold off for private profit.
- Non-profit-distributing: surpluses go back into more cohorts, more equipment, more access — never dividends.
- Community-tested: we file an annual community-interest report with Companies House, publicly available.
