Access to Work Grants

Funding ADHD coaching in the workplace

What is Access to Work?

Access to Work is funding provided by the government to help you start work, stay in work or move into self employment. It’s a grant of up to £65,900 per annum which does not need to be repaid and is not means tested. It can be used to provide practical support at work depending on your needs. This may include equipment, software, transport and other adaptations. ADHD coaching is also frequently recommended by Access to Work assessors.

How do I know if I qualify?

To qualify you must:

  • have a physical or mental health condition or disability that means you need support to do your job or getting to and from work. ADHD qualifies as a disability eligible for the Access to Work grant.

  • be 16 or over

  • be in paid work (or be about to start or return to work in the next 12 weeks)

  • live and work (or be about to start or return to work) in England, Scotland or Wales

How do I apply?

What happens after I apply?

You’ll be contacted by someone from Access to Work to:

  • gather more information about your work and condition

  • see permission to speak to your employer

  • arrange for an assessor to call you or view your workplace by video call or in person

You’ll get a letter with a decision and explanation, detailing how much grant you’ll be awarded and what it can be used for.
