We're on a mission to support adults with ADHD

We are a Brighton-based charity that runs in-person peer support sessions in Brighton and online. We have been supporting adults impacted by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for over a decade, and are led by volunteers with lived experience of neurodiversity.

Our Services

Peer Support Groups

A place to go for shared experience and forming relationships with like-minded people, including adults with ADHD, partners of ADHD adults, parents of ADHD children, young people and young adults.

Discussion Groups

An opportunity for our members to come together and share information, advice and personal experiences around an agreed topic, with the potential to tackle some of the core issues around living with ADHD.

Testimonials

“The group has made me feel much less isolated. Spending time with a group of neurodiverse people is a very reassuring break from normal life where you are somewhat of an outsider.”

“I've found by coming together to share our knowledge and experiences of our condition, I'm far better at understanding and supporting myself and those around me.”

“The understanding and compassion of the fellow volunteers at ADHD Aware removed that anxiety, allowing me to focus on the task at hand instead of just worrying and getting frustrated about my weaknesses.”

“It has helped me live to positively with ADHD. The group helps me to understand me.”

"Volunteering at ADHD Aware has helped me to shrug the feeling of helplessness that I'd been suffering in silence with."

"When I see the positive impact I can have on people by giving them the right bit of advice or often just by listening to them, it gives me a sense of purpose.”
