Celebrate Difference ADHD

14/10/2026

Do you expect Founders, MD, CEOs to step out and grab the colouring pens for an hour?

Probably not.

Finding our own way to balance our chaos and intensely stressful days, to remain balanced and clear, will be different for all of us.

Movement (stocking shelves and moving products) and colouring in (at our regular Tuesday crafting club) did the trick nicely.

Productive and gentle activities with purpose.

Tell us how you regain your balance if you're in a brain whirlwind in the comments so we can inspire one another.

It's and I had totally forgotten until Angela (pink top) reminded me.

So along with Michelle, we put the world to rights in 10 minutes discussing:

Social anxiety
RSD
Knocking into things
Dropping everything we touch
Benefits of diagnosis
Perimenopause
Social Justice and

And had a right laugh trying to get a photo.

Neurodivergence doesn't just happen in October for us.

We live and breathe it every minute of every day.

And we are just fine and dandy as we are, thanks very much.

I'm overjoyed that me and Michael are hair twinnies.

How canny !

If you're a CD Access to Work, client you'll know our Michael, always fighting to get the very best outcome for them regarding their AtW awards.

And if you aren't a client with us, but you have an AtW award and you need a hand, he's the best in the business.

Drop us a message if you fancy a chat.

This week, our Laura (and Tinks!) have been out and about strengthening our community links, this time with Handcrafted in their Chester-le-street hub.

Thanks to Charlie and Immi for talking them through their amazing work across the region creating wonderful opportunities for young people.

We can't wait to see you at our HQ The Hub Consett very soon.

And a proper special thanks for letting them have a go on the printing press!

Calling all clients and support workers! Nicola and Jacky have been recording some short training videos for the Celebrate Difference Client & Support Worker Portal.

Here's a short intro from Nic - let us know what sort of training you'd like us to record/deliver live etc.

18/09/2026

Our founder Nicola Jayne Little | Celebrate Difference & Business Unmasked | visited Alan - AS Design and the team to record some new training content for our Support Worker portal.

The focus was LinkedIn as she loves using the platform and hopes it'll inspire others for whom its a bit of an unknown landscape still.

If you provide support services to clients and want to join our Support Worker membership, drop the team an email [email protected] and we'll let you know what it's all about.
