We’re delighted to announce we are one of 10 organisations receiving funding through the Scottish Government’s Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund, announced as part of the latest Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.

This is big news for us.

This funding will enable Mindroom to expand our support into new areas of Scotland, including Dundee, helping more parents and families access tailored support when they need it.

We know that whole-family support can make a real difference to the wellbeing and outcomes of children and their parents. This investment will help us reach more families, in more communities, and ensure they don't have to navigate things alone.

We’re grateful to the Scottish Government and look forward to building on the work we already do to help neurodivergent children and their families, as well as employers and the workplace.

Our latest Impact Report shows just how much the need for neurodiversity support continues to grow, and the difference it can make when families, young people and professionals are met with understanding and practical support.

In 2025, we supported 2,172 children, young people and their families, and received 1,801 new enquiries from people looking for help, guidance or reassurance.

Since 2020, we’ve seen a 309% increase in families reaching out for support, reflecting both rising need and growing awareness of neurodiversity.

What matters most, though, is the impact behind these numbers:
✔️ 100% of parent/carer families told us they felt understood.
✔️ 92% of children and young people said they felt more confident as a result of support.
✔️ 100% of training delegates said they felt more confident applying neuroinclusion in practice.

Behind every figure is a person, a family, and a story of change.

We’re proud of what this reflects, but even more focused on what comes next, as we continue working towards a more inclusive and understanding society for all minds.

More coming soon.

When Life Doesn’t Follow the Script is more than a memoir, it’s the story of the experiences, challenges and determination that inspired the creation of Mindroom 📖

We’re continuing to celebrate Sophie Dow’s powerful story and the journey behind building a charity that has spent the last 25 years supporting neurodivergent children, young people and families across Scotland.

Written by our co-founder Sophie, the book shares the deeply personal experiences that led to the creation of Mindroom and the belief that every mind deserves to be understood, valued and supported.

There are a limited number of copies available, and all proceeds from sales will support Mindroom’s mission and help continue the work we do to create a more inclusive future for neurodivergent people.

If you’d like to read Sophie’s story and support Mindroom at the same time, you can purchase your copy at https://buy.stripe.com/bJe7sK0H300BcJzf4C4F200.

A new school year can bring plenty of excitement, but it's also completely normal for it to come with a few worries too. 📘

Whether your child is starting a new school, moving into a new year group or simply getting back into a routine, taking a little time to prepare can help make the transition feel more manageable.

Simple things like talking through what to expect, visiting the school if possible, looking at timetables together or building routines gradually can all help create a sense of familiarity before term begins.

Every young person is different, and what works for one family may not work for another. The important thing is finding an approach that helps your child feel confident and supported.

If you're looking for guidance as the new school year approaches, Mindroom is here to help. Visit www.mindroom.org for more details.

"Parents and carers of neurodivergent children are still holding work, family life and overstretched systems together, often invisibly." Gill Christie, Baillie Gifford, on behalf of The Project Team

Today, we are publishing Holding It All Together, a parent-led study of the workplace experiences of parents and carers raising neurodivergent children.

Here is what parents and carers told us:
• 88% say their ability to work or progress has been limited
• 74% have changed their working patterns
• 30% have left work or taken a career break
• 80% have seen household income fall
• 98% report a decline in mental health

This isn’t about families who cannot cope. It’s about systems that don’t support them and workplaces that don’t see them.

98% of parents and carers of neurodivergent children told us their mental health has been negatively affected. Not because of their children, but because of the fight to access support and workplaces who do not see them.

We are changing that.

88% of parents and carers of neurodivergent children say broken systems and inflexible workplaces have limited their ability to work or progress. The skills and experience of talented individuals are being lost, and our workplaces are the poorer for it.
