Why We Started
Reeves Disability Consultancy CIC was created after our founder and CEO, Joshua Reeves, faced long delays and a lack of support when trying to secure reasonable adjustments through Access to Work after being made redundant in 2025. Seeing how often Disabled and Neurodivergent people were pushed out of work by systemic barriers, Josh founded RDC to build the practical, lived-experience solutions the system wasn't providing.
Today, RDC delivers two core services: Work Without Barriers, a rapid-access lending library of specialist workplace equipment, and Disability Advocacy with Joshua Reeves, supporting people navigating employment barriers, DWP challenges including PIP cases and Access to Work, social care issues, and education-related discrimination. Our mission is simple: no Disabled person should lose work, independence, or opportunity because support is delayed, denied, or inaccessible.
"Talent shouldn't be wasted. Barriers shouldn't exist."
