A wonderful afternoon at Chavenage House today! Big thanks to Jackie for organising - and also to our volunteer drivers who helped to get us all there :)

Fans of TV series such as Poldark and Rivals may recognise the location (near Tetbury). It really is a lovely place, owned by the hospitable and welcoming Lowsley-Williams family since 1891, it dates back to Tudor times. A fascinating place to visit!

Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week! This week is a dedicated time to recognise and celebrate the neurodiverse community.

It is a great opportunity to educate yourself on neurodiversity and learn how you can support neurodiverse people.

We have a range of resources you can use, like our 'Guide for Neurotypicals: Understanding Autistic and ADHD women and girls' and our Thinking Differently zine which offers insights on the gendered differences in autism and ADHD. Check them out here: https://www.thewi.org.uk/campaigns/key-and-current-campaigns/thinking-differently

Through awareness and inclusion, we can ensure that neurodiverse people feel comfortable and celebrated.
