We’re delighted to share some fantastic news.

Just Straight Talk CIC has been awarded three years of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to deliver NeuroKind across Dudley and Sandwell from July 2026.

NeuroKind will support neurodivergent adults in accessing health, wellbeing, and community support by helping them get the right support sooner through person-centred guidance and neuro-affirming practice.

From July, the project will provide:

• 1-to-1 tailored support and action planning
• Creative, wellbeing and social group sessions
• Community events and partnership engagement

Over the next three years, Neurokind will support hundreds of people, strengthen community connections, and help tackle health inequalities affecting neurodivergent individuals and families.

A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and to National Lottery players and retailers for making this possible.
