Join our supportive, affirming community for neurodivergent business owners and freelancers
We’re a non-profit organisation with a mission to make doing business joyful for neurodivergent people — and we believe that starts with community.
Do you sometimes feel like you don’t belong in the business world?
Do you struggle to find business resources and support that works for you and your brain?
Do you want to connect with other neurodivergent entrepreneurs who are exploring doing business differently?
Do you want to discover ways to run your business YOUR way, embracing all the ways that make your brain different?
This is why we created Joyfully Different.
We are a space for neurodivergent business leaders to belong.

we want our community to be accessible for all
We’re committed to supporting as many neurodivergent entrepreneurs as we can. And we understand that when you’re getting your business off the ground, it can be difficult financially.
So, if £30 a month isn’t affordable for you right now, we don’t want you to feel excluded. And we want you to get the support you need to grow a thriving business.
Email us at [email protected] and we’d be more than happy to agree a pay what you can rate, for as long as you need.
Alternatively, if you are applying for Access to Work, you can include your Joyfully Different membership in your application. And we can help with that too.
meet the founders
We’re Alice and Mark, and we are SO happy you’re here and that you’ve read all the way down to this part of the page!
We’re guessing if you’re still here, then what we’ve said about Joyfully Different has resonated with you, and you’re thinking about whether to join us. Well, we would love nothing more than to welcome you into the community.
We co-founded Joyfully Different in 2023, because it’s the community WE were looking for and struggled to find.
We wanted to create a space for neurodivergent business owners, freelancers and aspiring entrepreneurs to connect, learn and collaborate together.
Most the business advice out there isn’t designed for our neurodivergent brains – it doesn’t resonate with us, it doesn’t feel authentic, and it doesn’t work.
So, we started our own space to learn from each other, explore what works for us and to be authentically and proudly ourselves without any shame.
As our community grows, the more we can offer, and we would love you to be part of the journey with us.
Still got questions about membership?

You can email us any time at [email protected] and a member of our team will get back to you.
