Our Mission & Values
Our mission
We are a nonprofit organisation and we accompany Neurodiverse people, especially under the age of 18 years old, and their supporters to lead happy lives in a caring community.
Our vision is to cultivate an environment that is supportive, inclusive, and empowering for Neurodiverse individuals. We are committed to providing a safe space for young Neurodiverse individuals who may be misunderstood and marginalised due to their unique traits. And crucially, we support their parents/carers in their caregiving responsibilities, understanding and promotion of neurodiversity.
Our commitment to neurodiverse youth and their well-being is intertwined with our parent workshops. A significant aspect of our efforts centers on empowering parents to understand and meet their children's unique needs. It is through their proactive involvement that we can achieve truly impactful outcomes. In essence, parents are the driving force for creating meaningful change and ensuring the well-being of our neurodiverse youth.
We also want to support local (and wider) businesses to become inclusive of neurodiversity.
