Welcome to ADHD UK
ADHD UK is by people with ADHD for people with ADHD.
The best place to start is our About ADHD page. From there we have videos (by Dr Max Davie – specialist in ADHD, trustee of ADHD UK and person with ADHD), we have information on teacher attitudes to help inform conversations with your school, and for adults a self-screener survey to uncover if you might have ADHD.
If you think you have ADHD and are worried about NHS waiting times please look at the diagnosis pathway page, which has information on your NHS Right to Choose and faster NHS paid options.
We’ve recently launched our discovery platform to find ADHD strategies, products and ideas.
We hold video based support groups. Bringing people together on areas such as “Recently diagnosed Adult ADHD”, “Finding the right career”, “Parenting” and others. If you are interested in participating join our mailing list to be notified.

Donate to ADHD UK
Please consider donating to support our work. We’re working to positively change what it means to have ADHD in the UK. We need your help to do that.
We receive no government funds. Fundraising is extremely difficult because of the economic climate and because of the discrimination and stigma that means many can’t be out and ask for fundraising sponsorship.
That means any donation you give is extremely valued. It is the only way we can do the work we do. Thank you for considering it.
