Previous work

  • Wellness Art Group

    Our Wellness Art group was funded to provide a space for all neurodivergent people to express themselves through art. We are a vibrant artistic community and can often be found volunteering at local art events. We would love to hear from anyone able to suggest or provide funding streams to enable our art group to continue.

  • CNTW Learning Disability Awareness Training

    We delivered learning disability training to Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust. In one year, we delivered 27 learning disability training sessions, impacting the way a lot of people think about learning disability and act towards people with a learning disability in their work.

  • Sunderland University

    We worked with students at Sunderland University on their ‘Adapting Physical Activity’ module. For 7 weeks, we met with students to take part in activities, which helped shape their understanding of how to include people with learning disabilities in sport. We shared our views, had fun, and had a positive impact on the future of adapted sport and physical activity.

  • Junior Doctor Training

    We delivered learning disability and autism training to students studying to become doctors for the NHS.

  • Tyne & Wear archives and museums

    We designed easy read volunteer policies for Tyne and Wear Archives museum staff. These are available to view on the Tyne and Wear Archives & Museums website.

  • Durham University relationship guide for autistic people

    We designed a relationship guide for autistic adults, for Durham University. It has been shared and seen by a lot of people, including on social media. It has received very good feedback. You can view the guide here.

  • NHS PPV application pack

    We designed an easy read application pack for people who are interested in becoming a Patient and Public Voice Partner (PPV) for the NHS, and represent the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community (LGBTQ+).

  • Medications and my mental health

    We worked with researchers at Manchester University looking at the use of mental health medications in the lives of people with a learning disability. The aim was to help people be more involved in decisions about their mental health medication. Details of the research, including findings, can be found here.
