Workplace support funding
Access to Work funding.
We understand more than most that getting workplace support as a neurodiverse individual can be a challenge.
However, there are programmes in place to help you, such as the Access to Work scheme offered by the UK Department for Work and Pensions.
This scheme provides funding to help pay for the costs of support services you need to aid your success in the workplace when disabilities or health conditions may otherwise stop you.
There are many success stories from individuals who have benefited from Access to Work. For example, tailored support from a job coach can help someone build the skills and confidence needed to thrive in a new role.
