About Us

Introducing Neurodiversity UK

At Neurodiversity UK, we’re on a mission to unite and empower the neurodiverse community across the United Kingdom. As a social enterprise, we’re dedicated to supporting peer support groups and fostering connections through our nationwide directory of neurodiverse events.

Our Core Initiatives

Nationwide Event Directory

A central hub connecting people with local events and support groups.

Peer Support Group Assistance

Launching a supervision meeting to support and empower group organizers.

Specialized Support Groups

We offer our own support group meetings, including a men's group and a support group for those applying to the government's Access to Work scheme.

We believe in the immense value of the neurodiverse community. By gathering feedback from support groups, we continually refine our understanding of effective interventions. This invaluable insight shapes our high-quality coaching and neurodiversity training services.

Our motivation stems from recognizing that many individuals receive ineffective coaching. Through our extensive work with support groups, we’ve learned that when done right, coaching can be truly life-changing.

What is a Social Enterprise?

As a social enterprise, we balance business operations with social impact. We’re committed to reinvesting over 50% of our profits continuously reinvested. To ensure transparency, we’ll produce an annual social impact report detailing our community contributions.

Our Social Goals

  1. Promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of neurodiversity in the UK through education, training, and advocacy.
  2. Provide support services and resources for neurodiverse individuals and their families, particularly those with ADHD and/or Autism.
  3. Assist peer support groups, fostering environments of mutual understanding and shared experiences.
  4. Offer professional development and training programs to improve inclusion of neurodiverse individuals in various settings.
  5. Develop and disseminate research about neurodiversity to enhance knowledge, influence policy, and shape public attitudes.
