Our Pillars

Inclusion

We want to live in an inclusive society that cherishes autistic and neurodivergent children. We aim to work within our local communities and at a national level to create a safer and more inclusive environment for neurodivergent children.

Support

We provide practical and emotional support to families and carers of autistic and neurodivergent children. We aim to ensure all families feel welcome at our events and leave knowing they are never alone.

Empowerment

We aim to empower families and carers of neurodivergent (or potentially neurodivergent) children to advocate for their rights by educating them in how to exercise those rights and access available support.
