Our Sponsors
As a non-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity and support of our wonderful sponsors to help us meet the needs of our community of neurodivergent business owners.
Founding Sponsors
These companies have generously sponsored five annual memberships to Joyfully Different each in 2024/2025, meaning we’ve been able to offer £3600 worth of business support to neurodivergent folks who are starting and growing a business who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford membership to our community.

Practical Wisdom
“As a passionate champion of neurodiversity inclusion, I am so proud to support the incredible work Joyfully Different do, both as a strategic director and through my company, Practical Wisdom, as the missions of both businesses are so aligned.”
– Helen Davies, Founder of Practical Wisdom
Practical Wisdom is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping neurodivergent people thrive – not just survive. They help alternative thinkers, neurodivergent parents and those with children with special educational needs, providing skills support for ADHD/neurodivergent traits. We’re HUGE fans of them (and Helen, of course!)
Why sponsor a Joyfully Different programme or memberships?
Only 22% of autistic people are currently in employment.
40% of entrepreneurs are likely to be dyslexic, four times the national average
People with ADHD are 60%-80% more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions
And yet, most business resources and programmes don’t meet the needs of neurodivergent business owners.
They’re often inaccessible to different learning styles and don’t take the unique needs and challenges of many neurodivergent people into account.
Even worse, traditional business advice often encourages neurodivergent people to mask in order to be accepted – and this leads to exhaustion, burnout and lack of self-confidence.
We support neurodivergent business owners to create and lead their businesses their way, while embracing every aspect of their unique neurodiversity, personality and strengths.
