We are a small charity working very hard to make a difference; however, we are a small charity with very limited time and resources.

We want to help you and answer your question. But before you submit it we ask that you check that the answer isn't already on our website.

We don't receive government funding. Everything we can do is as a result of individual donations. To help us help more people do please check that we've not already answered your question.

If your question hasn't been answered then by helping us identify an area of knowledge need you are helping us making our site more complete. We can add your answer into our pages.

Lastly, if you would simply like to speak to someone about your situation then come to a drop in clinic or other support group. Both are the avenues to get that support.

Drop in clinics

We are keen to support your writing; however, we are a small charity with very limited time.

If you have been commissioned to write a piece that is going to be published prominently please use the Press Contact email and mobile number to talk to a representative of the charity. You can find that here.

If this is for your studies or you hope for it to be published but have not been commissioned we can help you in other ways.

We can help you find interviewees by allowing you to post within our substantial Facebook group. To do that join the group and post your request making it clear who you are, the institution you are studying at, and exactly what you are looking for. The moderators should then authorise it to go through.

You can join our support groups or drop in clinics to learn more about the lived experience of people with ADHD. Please note that Chatham House rules apply - you can say what was said but you must not identify who said it. You can find all upcoming events here.

We are keen to support ADHD research. We have two levels of support depending on what level your research is.

For personal, bachelors dissertation and masters dissertation research we look to provide support by allowing you to promote in our Facebook groups.

This will get your message to the thousands of members we have.

We can support you in collecting anonymous research information from participants. Unfortunately we are not able to support facilitating collecting personally identifiable information (like contact details) or face to face interviews due to the safeguarding issues that entails.

To post in our groups you will need to fill in our research support form.
Our research form is here: http://adhduk.co.uk/research-support-form/
That then grants you permission to post in our facebook groups and we let our moderators know. Our groups can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDUKcharity/groups

Good luck with your research!

As an organisation we're keen to support you. We also know that our communities are enthusiastic to get involved.

We want to change what is like to have ADHD and we appreciate the importance of research in doing that.

You are welcome to directly post to our groups; however we are also willing to directly promote you - we will look to go all in to support you and promote into our facebook page, groups, instagram, twitter and mailing list.

For us to do that we need complete details of your research. If you could please click here for our research support form.

If that is the case then please change your first answer to "I do not match any of the above"and follow the instructions from there.

We receive quite a lot of enquires asking us if we are a Right to Choose provider or thinking that and asking us about our wait time. For those that are here to ask I am very sorry to inform you that we are not a Right to Choose service provider. We're instead a small charity focused on fundamentally altering what it means to have ADHD in the UK - as a part of that we are signposting people to the Right to Choose services that are available. The most upto date list of providers, and any wait time information we have, can be found on our Right to Choose Page.

We are still a relatively young charity with limited resources and as yet we don't have specific advice on the Benefits System for people with ADHD. It is something we are looking to work on in the future.

In the meantime we recommend you contact more specialist organisations working in the area. Including:

Citizens Advice on Universal Benefit
Citizens Advice on PIP
Advice Now on Universal PIP
Advice Now on PIP
