Welcome to Ablepreneurs®

Welcome to Ablepreneurs® — the community and movement championing disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives and the organisations who support them. 

At the heart of Ablepreneurs® is a vibrant, values‑driven network dedicated to building connections, nurturing confidence, and creating accessible pathways to business success.
Founded and curated by Helen Pugh, Ablepreneurs® has grown from a small idea into a national platform of empowerment, visibility and opportunity. 

We believe in the power of community, lived experience and inclusive business design — because when disabled talent is supported, businesses and communities thrive.

Choose the membership level that fits your needs and capacity. Each tier offers access to community support, resources, opportunities, and learning designed specifically for disabled founders. Grow at your pace, with the support you deserve.

Connect from anywhere through our online networking sessions, WhatsApp peer support group and virtual co‑working. These spaces offer encouragement, accountability, shared learning and community — especially for those who can’t always attend in person.  

We collaborate with trusted organisations, service providers and accessibility‑focused professionals who share our values. Members gain access to recommended partners who understand disabled entrepreneurship and offer supportive, inclusive solutions. 

Sharpen your skills, learn accessible business strategies and gain confidence through practical, expert‑led sessions. Our masterclasses are designed to reduce overwhelm, remove friction and help you build a business that works with your capacity. 

Receive personalised guidance from mentors who understand the realities of disabled entrepreneurship. Our mentoring focuses on clarity, sustainability, accessibility and gentle, practical progress — not hustle culture.  

Access exclusive peer support, and accountability to support you in growing  your business sustainably. This is your space for  connection and ongoing support.  

A landmark annual celebration recognising disabled entrepreneurship, innovation and resilience across the UK. This national event brings together founders, allies, organisations and inclusive employers to share stories, build connections and champion accessible business. 

In 2027,  we’ll be celebrating the achievements, innovation and resilience of disabled entrepreneurs through our national Awards and Magazine. Together, these platforms will honour the people and organisations transforming the business landscape and building a future where accessibility and opportunity thrive. 

Become part of a community that understands your journey and celebrates your strengths. Together, we’ll create the support, encouragement and practical pathways that help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
