How to get funding for my Speaksee Microphone Kit! Our Speaksee Microphone Kit and Speaksee AutoCaption products are recognised as important tools at work for people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Many of our customers have already used Access-to-Work funding to purchase their Speaksee Microphone Kit. This funding can really help to get the support you need and means that money need not be an obstacle!  What is Acces to work? ‘Access-to-Work is a publicly funded employment support programme that aims to help people with disabilities start or stay in work. It can provide practical and financial support if you have a disability or long term physical or mental health condition.’ This funding mechanism gives you what you need to do your job. Access-to-Work is managed by the UK Department of Work and Pensions. To get support, you must apply for an Access-to-Work Grant and provide details about yourself, your disability and your employment. To check your eligibility, and other details on the Access-to-Work scheme, please follow the link below to the government information webpage. Access-to-Work Government Fact Sheet There are over 50,000 people using Access-to-Work funding every year and latest figures indicate over 6,000 people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. There are still many people who are eligible for funding but have not applied! How does it work? If your application is successful, Access-to-Work will provide money to pay for products and services to support you with your disability while at work. Employers are already required to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ for people with disabilities, so in some cases, there may already be things in place to help. However, for most people with a disability, there are lots of other solutions available that could make life easier. The Access-to-Work funding value can be very significant. Although the annual value is capped, the amount is reset every year to ensure support is available for you throughout your employment.
