Individuals with autism, ADHD and other related conditions can be socially isolated and can struggle to achieve their full potential.
The charity aims to benefit young neurodivergent individuals living in North Hampshire and surrounding areas, their families and other carers. It has been established with the objective of enabling them to thrive, while increasing awareness of neurodiversity and providing a support network for families and others involved in the care of neurodivergent children and young adults.
Practical & Financial support
We are building a network of parents and carers who have negotiated and are currently negotiating the many challenges that can arise with supporting a neurodivergent individual.
The charity may also be able to offer partial funding to enable neurodivergent individuals and their families to access specialist support that may not be readily available from the state. This could include help with an initial assessment, psychology, speech and language, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychiatry or legal appointments. Support may also be provided for EHCP and benefits applications and appeals. A panel of trustees will review applications on a regular basis.
The trustees are building and developing their knowledge of effective specialist suppliers in order to establish an evolving network of approved providers of the various types of support that the charity wishes to offer.
Funded education & training
In the longer term, it is envisaged that the charity may subsidise places on social skills courses and fund training in schools or other institutions.
