Company activities and impact

In our first year we moved to a new long-term premise and renovated it to meet our clients needs. We provide counselling and therapy to individuals, children and families who are neurodivergent. In our first year we have supported over 100 families and individuals to accept difference, feel more confident and build connections within the community, reducing isolation, developing friendships and improving social skills. In November 2023 we opened our new premise and held an open day that was attended by 20 families and individuals. At Christmas we held a relaxed Christmas party that was attended by 10 families and 15 individuals. This supported the community by building relationships within peer groups and families. We received funding from the Big Lottery to renovate one of our rooms into a sensory room that can be accessed by anyone in the community. We received funding from Teesside Business Community to hold groups for adults, families and children to build relationships, reduce isolation and develop social skills in a safe and nurturing environment. The funding is being used to offer group art sessions using mixed media and music sessions to individuals and families. These groups are used to benefit individuals and are therapeutic. They are facilitated by two experienced psychotherapeutic counsellors.

Consultation with stakeholders

The CIC’s stakeholders are neurodivergent individuals, children and families who find accessing services and the community challenging. We have 3 Directors and a steering group of 20 individuals comprising of adults and children who direct the service and suggest new activities, such as a music group and art group. The CIC directors are neurodivergent and have neurodivergent family members. They have life long experience of neurodivergence. The steering group is made up of neurodivergent members or parents with neurodivergent children. We gather regular feedback from the steering group members and consult with individuals regularly. If a client makes a suggestion then we discuss this with the steering group, for example a client suggested having a monthly group for adults.

Directors' remuneration

Salaries were paid to the amount of £24312.00.There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.

Transfer of assets
