Access to Work (AtW)
We accept Access to Work (AtW) Funding
Access to Work is a government-funded initiative designed to offer practical and financial assistance to individuals with health conditions and disabilities.
If you are neurodivergent and find that your condition affects your ability to work, you are eligible to apply for up to £66,000 pa in funding that can be used to support you in your role.


How can Access to Work (AtW) support me?
For those identifying as neurodivergent, Access to Work offers a grant to cover the cost of a Virtual Assistant (VA), sometimes known as a Support Worker.
At Sycamore OBM, we can:
- Aid with organising tasks, planning and finance; ensuring the best use of your time and keeping you accountable
- Manage communication channels, such as handling emails and phone calls.
- Provide administrative assistance; covering tasks like scheduling, creating documents, and precise data entry.
- Handle life-admin responsibilities, such as coordinating events, navigating insurance matters, and ensuring the smooth execution of the day-to-day whilst you focus on the key elements of your role.
It’s important to note that a formal diagnosis is not required to apply for Access to Work funding.
Government grants can be complicated, can you help?
Our Access to Work Advisor can support you with all aspects of your application, from the initial gathering of information, right through to the administration of payments, should your award be successful.
We offer this application service free of charge to those neurodivergent business owners and those self employed, who are looking for VA support and need an Access to Work grant to get started.
What else can Access to Work help to fund?
Many of our neurodivergent clients have been offered funds for coaching, as part of their award.
At Sycamore OBM, we create a supportive and empowering space where you can be heard, understood, and find strategies to thrive in both your professional and personal life.
Our Coaches can work with you in a bespoke and personalised way and this is accessible in the same way as our VA service, through Access to Work funding.
