Welcome to Head Up!

We are a group of university students and graduates who have a variety of disabilities including: physical and mental health conditions, learning difficulties, and neurodivergence.

We want to share our advice and experiences of dealing with these in school, in university, and in our social lives. Our goal is that you feel supported, encouraged and able to overcome the extra challenges you may face while chasing big ambitions.

If you are struggling with your health, or with feeling different and isolated, please know that you are not on your own. Whether your life has been impacted a lot or a little, whether your condition is temporary or lifelong, whether you’re diagnosed or not, and no matter what stage of education you are at, we are here for you.

If you are here as an ally, because someone close to you is affected, or if you just want to learn more about supporting someone with a disability or health condition, you are welcome too!

We are so glad that you’ve found us, and welcome to our community!
