Our Story
The organisation is the brainchild of NHS mental health nurse turned social entrepreneur Tracy Fee, who set up the venture after her diagnosis with autism.​
​
After realising the disability was likely the cause of several challenges she faced throughout her 30-year career, Tracy wanted to support others facing similar situations.
​
She explained: "I was diagnosed with autism late in my career however, I was fortunate in the sense that I had a job I was able to cope really well with.
​
"I also had a very supportive family and amazing colleagues, but that still didn’t stop me from having to overcome my fair share of challenges, which proved my real motivator.

What We Stand for
​Hiyed stands for compassion, creativity, reliability, generosity, loyalty and a love for life. No matter how difficult a challenge is you are capable of completing it by using your quick wits and tremendous adaptability.
You do not need a diagnosis to access our service.
We are aware that many people struggle to access support to understand and manage their conditions so we can offer Disability Impact support and coping strategies. We can provide training on using the public transport system, a travel buddy or arrange transport / taxis to get you to work if this is a barrier for you.​​
​
We can help with the DWP Access to Work scheme application process as it can be tricky to navigate. A workplace assessment will identify any needs you have in the workplace to overcome barriers including equipment and latest technology to assist you at work.
Under the Equality Act 2010 we must ensure we do not unlawfully discriminate in our service delivery and make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities where necessary. We are constantly working to improve the accessibility and usability of our site.
