Budget 2026: three things small businesses might have missed
Help with hiring young people
Funding is confirmed for the £3,000 Youth Jobs Grant for hiring eligible young unemployed people, plus £2,000 for smaller employers taking on young apprentices. The Jobs Guarantee also now covers disabled young people, with the government paying 100% of…

Interesting “steady as she goes” approach, doesn’t go far enough in tackling the major problems, but might take the sting out of all the energy price hikes coming soon… Fingers crossed it’s a mild winter!

Update from Unmasked Studio + a small favour 🦋
Last week I submitted Unmasked Studio’s bid to the DWP Pathways to Work Innovation Fund, a central government fund backing new ways to help disabled and neurodivergent people into work and stay there.
Our bid, Both Sides of the Hire, works with candidates and employers at the same time:

Neurodiversity can sometimes feel like a bit of a tricky subject.
What can I say? What shouldn’t I say? What do I do if someone tells me they’re neurodivergent?
But actually, a lot of it comes back to simply being a good manager.
I’ve created a practical Managers Guide to make some of this easier and give managers some useful things to think…

Funding to help you hire young people 💷
At today’s Rushmoor Employment & Skills Network meeting, Jack Hodgkins from the University of Portsmouth shared some new funding many local employers don’t know about yet. If you’re thinking about hiring, it’s worth a look:
✅ £2,000 for non-levy employers (most SMEs) who take on an apprentice aged 16–24,…

A little favour from fellow business owners 🙏
I’m doing some work on the employer side of Unmasked Studio and I’d really value a fresh pair of eyes on the website and services.
I’ve put together a very short survey to understand:
- whether it’s clear what we actually offer
- which services feel most useful
- what might stop a business from using…

Interesting Emma will have a look !

Is anyone here running webinars or campaigns in November ahead of the Employment Rights Act changes?
With the qualifying period for unfair dismissal dropping to six months from 1 January, I think probation is about to become the most exposed process most employers have — and it’s the one that’s least documented.
It’s also where neurodivergent…

Hi all,
Following a recent Channel 4 documentary, we’ve shared some practical guidance for neurodivergent workers who may be feeling concerned or uncertain about the impact it could have in the workplace.
If you know someone who might find this helpful, we’d be grateful if you could share it with them, repost our LinkedIn post, or tag…
