Company activities and impact

During the year ending 27th September 2024, The Autism & ADHD Advocates CIC provided a range of free support sessions for families and individuals impacted by Autism and ADHD. We delivered weekly in-person drop-in sessions at local family hubs and held daily online sessions to ensure accessible support across the community. We also ran structured four-week courses to help parents understand Autism and ADHD, offering practical guidance to support their children both at home and in education. Our Family Support Service currently supports over 40 families, providing ongoing emotional and practical support. All our services were delivered free of charge, as we relied entirely on grant funding and donations. Our focus throughout the year was on reducing isolation, improving understanding, and creating accessible, inclusive support for families navigating neurodivergence.
