Making work, study and everyday life more sustainable
SupportHub Tools is a UK-based Community Interest Company (CIC) founded to bridge the gap between legal rights and real life. We create practical resources that help disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill people understand and act on the support available to them under UK law.
Behind every rejected request is a person trying to make a living
Reasonable adjustments are only useful if people understand them and know how to use them to get the support they need for work, study and everyday life.
Too much information about disability support workplace adjustments exists inside legal documents, policy guidance, tribunal decisions and lengthy reports. When you’re disabled, chronically ill or neurodivergent, it can feel like one more huge barrier standing between you and the support you’re entitled to.
Many employers and educational institutions assume people know what to ask for, how to advocate for themselves and how to translate complex guidance into practical support requests.
At its heart, this is an accessibility problem.
We make information easier to understand, so you can turn it into action.
When support information becomes accessible, conversations get easier, requests get stronger and people are more likely to get the support they need.
Your workplace wants to stabilise your output.
We want to stabilise your lifestyle.
Understand it
Information should be easy to use
You shouldn’t have to decode content or cross-reference multiple sources or spend hours figuring out what applies to you. Support should be clear, self-contained and easy to understand.
Use it
Information should lead to action
Understanding your rights is important, but it’s only half the story. Everything we create is designed to help you take practical steps, not just collect more information.
Ask for help with it
Self-advocacy is a learnable skill
Most people aren’t taught how to ask for support, describe needs or navigate workplace adjustment conversations. We believe (with the right tools) these skills can be learned, practised, and used with more confidence over time.
We spend a lot of time reading things most people don’t want to read
So you don’t have to piece together support information from ten different places.
Research
Workplace adjustments guidance, employment rights, Equality Act guidance, Access to Work, EHCP provisions, SEND guidance, accessibility policies, statutory resources, and relevant tribunal decisions.
We read the things most people don’t have time, energy or capacity to read.
Translation
We take complex, policy-heavy information and turn it into practical guidance and examples that make it easier to understand, apply and act on.
Action
Every guide, template and tool is designed to answer one question: “What do I do next?” The goal is for you to be better equipped to access support in work, education and everyday life.
Who is this for?
Support shouldn’t stop once school ends, university starts, a diagnosis happens, or life takes an unexpected turn.
You might find yourself here if you’re:
Navigating work, education and adulthood after EHCP support ends
Entering higher education and unsure what support is available
Late diagnosed and figuring out workplace or educational support for the first time
Struggling to sustain work or study without the right adjustments in place
Starting a new job, course, placement or training route and wanting support in place early
Trying to understand what support is realistic, available or worth asking for
Looking back on years of coping, compensating and managing without formal support
Returning to work or education after burnout, illness or time away
Starting a new job, course, placement or training route and wanting support in place early
What we’re trying to change
A lot of the time, people are making adjustments long before they ever ask for support.
Masking through the day. Staying late to finish work because the workplace feels too loud, bright, busy or overstimulating during normal hours. Taking annual leave to recover from flare-ups. Avoiding meetings, conversations, tasks or environments that become harder to manage when the right support is missing.
We’re working towards a future where support isn’t something people access only after they’ve exhausted themselves trying to cope without it.
Support should arrive on time. It should be easy to understand, easy to act on and accessible to the people who need it.
Because dignity, inclusion and independence shouldn’t depend on whether someone “gets the system.”
Support doesn't stop here
Every week we share real-world examples of support, practical guidance and resources to help make work, study and everyday life more sustainable for disabled, chronically-ill and neurodivergent people.
