Access to Work Info Sessions

Not sure how Access to Work works or whether you qualify? Join one of our free one-hour online sessions: practical, jargon-free guidance to help you understand, apply for, and make the most of your funding.

What Are These Sessions?

Access to Work is a UK Government scheme that funds practical support for disabled people and those with health conditions or neurodivergent profiles — but navigating the application can feel overwhelming. Our free info sessions break it down into three focused parts, so you know exactly what to expect and how to get the support you're entitled to.
Sessions are delivered online via Zoom. You don't need to be an existing NeuroRocket client to attend — they're open to anyone.
