About the Alliance
We're the people who understand both sides of the radio.
The ADHD Alliance exists so that nobody in the emergency services has to deal with ADHD alone, at work or at home.
Our mission
Support, not just awareness
The traits that make someone good in a crisis can make the paperwork, the rotas and the recovery hard going. A lot of people have carried that on their own for too long.
We're a peer-led community. Most of what we know, we learned the hard way, and we pass it on without judgement.
DC Daley Jones and PC Alex Ware started the Alliance in February 2022. They had been through diagnosis, medication, disclosure and adjustments themselves, and wanted the thing they wished had existed. About 2,000 people are part of it now, from police, fire, ambulance and control-room roles.
What we stand for
Our values
Confidential by default
Disclosure is yours to control. What’s shared in the community stays in the community.
Peer-led, expert-informed
Members lead the way, with clinicians and employment specialists joining our sessions.
Strengths first
ADHD isn’t only a list of challenges. It also brings focus, drive and instinct, and we make room for those.
