"In an ideal world nobody should be afraid to disclose any disability." In this month’s episode, Ashly Williamson MSc MCIPD and Jaz W. join Kally Kaleda to discuss living and working with non-visible disabilities. In an eye-opening discussion, Ashly and Jaz delve into their strikingly similar stories, sharing their experience of life following a brain tumour diagnosis. Non-visible disabilities make it hard for people to disclose their unique stories with new people, let alone the workplace. This episode delves deeper into the need for companies to better understand and adapt. Continuing the discussion of needed change, Ashly and Jaz are raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, a cause close to their hearts.

Our CEO, Andrew Leaver and Managing Director, Nigel Atherton had the pleasure of supporting HP's Stage 9 Challenge cycle ride 🚴 The ride was in support of HP's channel partner, Softcat plc and their Chairman, Graeme Watt who's taken on the Lejog challenge; cycling 1,550km over 12 days from Land's End to John O'Groats. The team spent Monday feeling the burn as they rode up from Moffat to Edinburgh for an amazing cause. No wind or rain could stop this dream team, they're already on track to raise an impressive £15k 😲 The money raised will go to support two charities, Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association, who fund care and research for those suffering, and Social Bite, who are on a mission to reduce homelessness by supporting with jobs opportunities, housing, and food ❤️ Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.
