Our Project Leader Aimee attended the Men’s Health Event at Biddulph Town Hall earlier today — a fantastic opportunity to connect with local services, charities, and community groups.

There were plenty of great conversations around mental health, wellbeing, and support for neurodiverse adults, and it was wonderful to see so many people engaging and sharing experiences.

Events like these remind us how important it is to talk, connect, and look after both our physical and mental health.

We'd like to say a big thank you to the team at WoodenWindows and Stairbox, based in Trentham, for their very kind recent donation of £500 to our charity.

Funding like this is vital to helping us continue our work across North Staffordshire. Every contribution helps us reach more individuals and ensures our services remain accessible to those who need them most.

Support from local businesses truly strengthens the community around us.

Often, just taking one step at a time and not thinking too far ahead can help.

And remember, you don’t have to take those steps alone. Reaching out, sharing the load, and supporting each other makes every journey feel more manageable.

Reading reviews like this makes it all worth it!
This was a review recently left on Google:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I cannot begin to thank this organisation enough. I have spent 62 years in a black, dark hole and this is the only person/organisation that has ever helped me or my family. I have been passed from pillar to post all my life and so has my family.
From the first time speaking to Louise she has saved my life and also helped my family understand. I know "saved my life" sounds so serious but honestly, this is how close I have come.
Now I understand and FEEL understood and supported but also valued.
Nothing has been too much trouble and even when things are ok and I don't need the support, this organisation and Louise has ALWAYS been there for me and my family when I was not ok (which can be often).
I want to thank you all, particularly Louise, you should be given such recognition for all you do to make all people who are struggling for whatever reason, feel that they count too!!!!!"

Recent studies support several overlapping traits between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In 2013, it was finally recognised that autism and ADHD could co-exist.
