Jay and Gemma, who are supported at our Gate service, have been taking part in cooking sessions. This has been a new activity for them, and they have been involved in deciding what they want to make, so they have arrived at each session excited to start cooking.
Burgers and homemade buns were on the menu recently, and as you can see, they looked absolutely delicious! 🍔
Through these sessions, Jay and Gemma have been learning essential life skills and building up their confidence doing something new. They are very proud of the delicious food they have been making, and have been really excited to share it.
Our Gate service offers specialist, neurodiversity-informed support designed to guide young adults toward independence, confidence and wellbeing. To find out more, visit our website (link in bio).

Throughout Neurodiversity Celebration Week, our services have been sharing their voices and experiences in lots of different creative ways.
The young people at Vibe made an incredible walk-through art tunnel highlighting how people see and experience the world differently, while Sensational Learning Centre learned about famous people who have different neurodivergent profiles and developed a neurodiversity library.
Treehouse showcased their achievements through video and colourful display boards, while Gate focused on wellbeing and relaxation with a spa session in the swimming pool.
There were displays, quizzes, interactive sessions, and even a spider plant trail featuring stories from people we support.
Everyone was supported to take part in ways that felt right for them, from choosing activities and creating artwork to research and planning. This reinforced that there is no single right way to do things, and that everyone can celebrate neurodiversity in their own way.
It was great to see the celebrations across our support services, but we also recognise that not everyone wants to celebrate this week. This is why action is so important: if we make changes to improve experiences for neurodivergent people in education settings, workplaces and public spaces, we can create a society in which everyone feels they can celebrate.

Pawel, who is supported at Treehouse, loves to read, and when he is at Donaldsons, he likes to visit the library to find new books to read. 📖
His favourite book is We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. He often reads it several times in one day, and he knows the story so well that he likes to re-enact the story on his walks around the grounds at Donaldsons.
Reading has so many benefits for Pawel. When he wants to feel calm, he can find comfort sitting reading his favourite book. Acting out the story is a way for Pawel to build his confidence through expressing himself.
Treehouse is our specialist wellbeing service for neurodivergent adults aged 16+ who require an individualised programme and bespoke environment to support and improve their wellbeing, skills development and independence.
We provide safe, supportive spaces where young adults, like Pawel, can thrive in their own way, with routines designed around their interests, strengths and goals.
Find out more about Treehouse on our website (link in bio).
