Creating Inclusive Workplaces & Funding Support

A truly inclusive workplace isn’t just the right thing to do – it boosts employee retention, reduces absenteeism, and ensures legal compliance. Whether you’re looking for funding options, workplace adjustments, or expert guidance on disability inclusion, I can help.

Access to Work is one funding route, offering grants for:

  • Workplace adjustments (specialist equipment, software, adapted workspaces)
  • Support workers and coaching
  • Travel assistance (including taxis and vehicle adaptations)
  • Mental health support


But funding isn’t the whole picture. Through Workplace Needs Assessments, policy reviews, and tailored training, I help employers remove barriers and unlock the potential of every employee.

A Bit About Me

Early in my career in the Public Sector, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Over time, I struggled more and more to do my job, and without the right support in place, I eventually had to take ill-health retirement at just 31. If the right workplace adjustments and funding had been available to me then, I might still be there today.

After 5 years away from work, I started part-time as an Access to Work Support Worker. As I learned more about the scheme – and successfully applied for support in my own role – I realised just how life-changing the right adjustments can be. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others stay in work, thrive in their careers, and create truly inclusive workplaces.

Today, I primarily support clients as an Independent Access to Work Adviser, helping disabled and neurodivergent workers, self-employed people and employers navigate the scheme with clarity and confidence.
