We support and empower autistic and neurodivergent individuals through the provision of holistic person-centred services, whilst promoting training, wellbeing, inclusion and acceptance regionally and nationwide.

Initially launched as a community initiative for autistic children and young people, the charity has evolved significantly, and now also provides support for adults. Daisy Chain day centre is based on a 5.5-acre site offering state-of-the-art facilities and therapeutic animal therapy and also provides community outreach services across the North East region.

We have continually evolved in line with beneficiary need. Annually, we offer a variety of specialist provisions to over 8,000 families and neurodiverse individuals inclusive of social clubs, respite care, wellbeing, independent living skills, employability and animal therapy.

Our services support autistic and neurodivergent young people, adults and their families.
