Hi, I am Becca Brighty, founder of ADHD Impact, Business Psychologist and ADHD coach. I was diagnosed with ADHD in May 2022. Since then, I have used the skills my professional training has given me to learn as much about ADHD as possible and apply that knowledge to how I work.

Learning about my brain has completely changed my life. For the first time ever I am truly working toward achieving my potential, work feels easy, I am no longer constantly exhausted and after a lifetime of career frustration and disappointment it’s the most exciting, incredible feeling.

MAIN’s Open Day – How it went

/in , /by

MAIN’s Pre-Launch Event: A Sneak Peek into Our Services

We were thrilled to welcome many professionals, parents, and carers to our recent pre-launch event at MAIN. It was a wonderful opportunity to explain all about our services and give everyone a sneak peek ahead of our official launch.

The event was a great success, with attendees getting a first hand look at what our Charity does. It was heart warming to see so many people come together to learn about our mission and the support we offer. The day was also a fantastic opportunity for networking, allowing everyone to connect and share their experiences.

We are grateful to everyone who attended and made the event so special. Your presence and interest in our work mean the world to us.

Please enjoy some photos from the day:

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at our official launch!
