Most of our services are free or heavily subsidised. We can only continue to operate with your generous support. Here are some ways in which you can support us:
Donate to us
Support your local community by making a regular donation or one-off donation to us. Regular donations make a HUGE difference to our work enabling us to plan services and to make sure that more people get the help they need.
Volunteer for us
We could not support the ADHD community without the many volunteers who give their precious time to help deliver our services. We always welcome volunteers and try and match your time and skills to the tasks that need doing. If you are willing to help or know of anyone that would be interested in volunteering, please see our current vacancies or just get in touch [email protected] – there may be an opportunity for you that is not advertised.
Cyndy, recent admin volunteer, commented on her experience working with us:
“Volunteering for ADHD Embrace is an opportunity to get to meet people from all walks of life and to be part of a community. Most importantly it is a cause that is dear to me as I have a kid who has ADHD. I understand the struggles that parents and carers experience daily and like to be able to use my skills to help them.”
Challenge events
Run, walk, cycle or create your own unique challenge to raise funds for our activities to ultimately benefit children and young people with ADHD. There are annually so many events to choose from and something for everyone!

Other ways you can help:
- Office space – We are looking for office space. Can you offer us a shared workspace or a meeting room for weekly use or on an ad hoc basis for our committee meetings which are sometimes in the evenings? If you can help or have an idea, please get in touch with us at [email protected]
- Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
- Be interested in what we do – you may not able to offer time but if have ideas, opinions or knowledge you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Perhaps you could recommend a speaker for our talks or have an idea about how to spread the word about us. Join our Annual Meetings where we share our plans for the near future.
