For us, Neurodiversity Celebration Week is about amplifying neurodivergent voices, challenging misconceptions, and celebrating the power of the right support.
For Lucy, that support changed everything. π
After years of struggling in mainstream school – feeling unheard, unsupported, and isolated – she believed things would never get better. But then, she found Vibe.
βThanks to the support and confidence Iβve gained at Vibe, I now see a future for myself – one that Iβm so excited about.β π¬
Her journey is a powerful reminder that every neurodivergent young person deserves to be understood, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Gate`s Mindfulness Monday βπΌ
As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, the young adults in our Gate service decided to dedicate yesterday to prioritising their mental wellbeing with Mindfulness Monday. They started a new mindfulness project – crafting pom-poms for a pom-pom rug – while also enjoying a calming meditation session. They then continued their wellbeing focus with a refreshing nature walk, collecting daffodils along the way.
These activities are just a glimpse of how weβre fostering an environment where mental health and wellbeing are always at the forefront. By creating spaces where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered, we continue to prioritise the wellbeing of everyone we support. π₯°

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, Graeme, a teacher at our Sensational Learning Centre, shares an inspiring reflection about how being neurodivergent has shaped his career in education. π
Β
Early in his journey, he was cautious about sharing this part of himself β but looking back, he wonders: βMaybe if I had been more open about it, I could have inspired others.β
Β
Graeme, we think this video will do just that! π
Β
By embracing who he is, heβs not only become a passionate educator but also a role model for future teachers who may be unsure about their own paths. His lived experience gives him a unique understanding of the challenges neurodivergent young people may face, helping him to support and encourage them in a meaningful way.
Β
His story is a powerful reminder that representation in education matters β not just for students, but for teachers too. When educators feel empowered to be themselves, they create spaces where young people feel seen, understood, and supported.
Β
This reflection aligns with the goals of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, which aims to challenge stereotypes about neurodivergence and celebrate the strengths of neurodivergent individuals while fostering inclusive cultures in schools and workplaces.
Β
A huge thank you to Graeme for sharing his story with us! π

With Neurodiversity Celebration Week just around the corner, the people we support have been exploring their creativity through baking, arts and crafts, poetry, and more. π₯³
In our Vibe service, the young people have been working on a collaborative canvas painting, turning a blank space full of possibility into a vibrant expression of their individuality. As one young person put it:
βArt is a celebration of different minds, where visual beauty and unique thinking styles come together to showcase the power of neurodiversity.β
Weβre excited to reveal the final piece and showcase all the incredible creativity and effort that has brought it to life! π¨π
