Ravencourt Living: Making life changing products more accessible to those who need them
Ravencourt’s journey began in 1984 when the Story family, driven by a passion for innovation, started crafting scientific equipment for schools and laboratories right from their own home. What began as a modest family venture has since evolved into the dynamic, multi-faceted company we know today.
Over the years, our passion for practical solutions led us to expand into the world of daily living aids, creating products designed to help elderly and disabled individuals maintain independence for as long as possible. From assisting those with visual impairments to designing thoughtful solutions for people living with dementia, our goal has always been simple – empowering people through intuitive, life-enhancing products. We constantly listen, adapt, and refine our designs based on real customer feedback, ensuring every product makes a genuine difference.
But that’s not all. We don’t just design and develop our own products – we also bring incredible innovations to the market. We are the exclusive distributors of HUG by LAUGH, an award-winning sensory aid developed through research at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Designed specifically for people living with dementia, HUG is a soft, weighted companion that mimics the feeling of a comforting embrace. With its gentle heartbeat and the ability to play music via Bluetooth or internal storage, HUG provides reassurance and a sense of calm to those who need it most.
Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop there. We’ve teamed up with fantastic partners to help make HUG by LAUGH available worldwide, ensuring more people can experience the comfort and connection it brings. This, along with our wider range of assistive products, cements our place as a leader in the independent living sector.
The journey of innovation continues as Ravencourt has recently been appointed as the sole UK distributor for Ageless Innovation’s Joy For All Companion Pets – a game-changer in dementia care and wellbeing. These lifelike, interactive pets are designed to combat social isolation, loneliness, and cognitive decline, bringing joy, fun, and companionship to older adults. With their gentle purring, realistic movements, and responsive interactions, Joy For All Companion Pets have been scientifically proven to enhance wellbeing and improve quality of life, particularly for those living with dementia.
From humble beginnings to shaping the future of independent living, Ravencourt remains committed to making a real impact. Whether designing cutting-edge products or bringing world-class innovations to the UK, our mission stays the same – helping people live life to the fullest, with dignity, comfort, and a smile.
