I'm registered as a freelance access support worker with Arts Council England. I help artists who are disabled, neurodivergent or living with a mental health condition to apply for Arts Council funding.

 

That means helping you understand the application and removing the barriers that make it hard, like reading long guidance, getting your thoughts written down or staying focused through a long form. I don't write the application for you. The ideas and the words are yours.

 

How it's paid for

Arts Council England can pay for access support, so there's usually no cost to you. You request it through their online form, and you can name me as your preferred support worker. Once they approve it, we can get started.

I work independently and am not employed or endorsed by Arts Council England.
