Your Hidden Disability
Not all disabilities are immediately obvious. A wide range of medical, sensory, neurological, and mental health conditions can impact on daily living. In our experience, education, understanding, and practical adjustments go a long way to improving equality.
Identified and respected
Not all disabilities are obvious. A wide range of medical, sensory, neurological, and mental health conditions can impact daily living. In our experience, education, understanding, and practical adjustments go a long way to improving equality.
We’re passionate about making sure hidden disabilities are identified, respected, and adjusted for. Our friendly team has a wide variety of lived experiences which means we better understand what you need and how we can best support you.
Here to listen and support
We are here to listen and offer support. Our trained Time to Talk and Hub team and our support services range from getting active, getting connected with others, and getting involved in the things that matter to you. We also share useful links to organisations that work with us that specialise in a particular hidden disability.
