We've been talking about neurodiversity for seven years now and will continue to do so as we campaign for equal access for all 💪

Let's change the narrative to understand and celebrate neurodiversity 👏

#NeurodiversityCebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #ThisisND

Embracing neurodiversity is a journey towards finding new language, new understanding and new acceptance for everyone. This new understanding helps remove the stigma of deficits and disorders.

One of the problems is the lack of support available in the community. See what a difference proper care can make to people’s lives in our story about Myles and Derek, who spent more than four decades in mental health hospitals before getting a home of their own with NEAS support.

#Autistic

More than 2,000 autistic people and people with learning disabilities are being held in inpatient units in England, despite repeated government pledges to move them into community care.

Work on the £4 million development is expected to start next month and will, hopefully, be completed by the end of 2025.

You can find out more about the appeal and how you / your business can help at www.ne-as.org.uk/growing-futures

Today, in our 45th anniversary year, we have launched a capital appeal to help fund the farm development, which will serve as a training centre for autistic and neurodivergent people as well as a visitor attraction and working farm.

Sir Peter made the commitment to NEAS, describing our plans for New Warlands Farm as “inspirational and life-changing”.

Now, the philanthropist is challenging other businesses to match his pledge, urging them to “be part of something very special” and get the appeal up to its target of £1 million.
