Our mission is to create acceptance and understanding of neurodiversity and nurture the emotional wellbeing of every child and young person.
We are committed to ensuring the development of safe and inclusive environments where individual strengths are recognised, voices are heard, and support is compassionate and personalised.
Through strong collaborative partnerships and evidence-informed approaches, we will help children and young people flourish—emotionally, socially, and developmentally—so they can lead confident, connected, and fulfilling lives.
What we do
We offer a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for children, young people, families and professionals. You can get advice, early support, and signposting in one place.
We help families understand different ways of thinking, feeling and experiencing the world.
Our service includes a:
- dedicated section with advice, information and strategies
- single point of contact for parents, carers, young people, and professionals
- new strengths and needs assessment to help plan the right support for each child or young person

When the service is available
This is a 12 month pilot starting in November 2025. It focuses on early intervention and prevention, offering support as soon as needs are noticed.

Children and young people aged 0 to 19 years (or up to 25 years if they have known or suspected special education needs and disabilities) who:
- live in the Cumberland and Eden area

If you live in Eden, we’ll signpost you to follow-up support in the Westmorland and Furness area to make sure you get the most appropriate local help.
