Often, “I want to go home” doesn’t literally mean a place. It can mean I need to feel safe, I’m overwhelmed, I need comfort or I need things to feel predictable again. For many young people, home is a feeling, not just a building. We can respond to the feeling underneath to make a big difference.

Transparency in fundraising matters. So here is exactly what your donation to our upcoming Big Give campaign will fund. Launching 22nd June! #BigGive #SmallCharity #DoubleTheDifference @biggive.bsky.social  @ncvo.bsky.social

Match funding explained simply: You give £10. It becomes £20. You give £25. It becomes £50. You give £50. It becomes £100. Our Big Give campaign launches in 2 weeks. Every donation during the window is matched automatically. Worth waiting for. @biggive.bsky.social  @ncvo.bsky.social  #BigGive

Noticing a shift in someone's tone & spending the rest of the day convinced you've upset them. Replaying conversations. Feeling feedback like a physical blow. For many autistic girls & women, this is RSD and it's neurological, not an overreaction. Read more: https://bit.ly/AGNRSD

Simple reasonable adjustments can make a huge difference, helping young people manage pain, fatigue, and joint instability while still being able to access education safely and comfortably. #EDSAwarenessMonth #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #EDS

Behind every statistic is a young person whose struggles are too often overlooked or misunderstood. That’s why we’ll keep advocating for earlier support, for proactive action. Source - Ambitious About Autism. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthWeek

Many autistic people also experience conditions like EDS, yet diagnosis can still be difficult to access. Understanding the connection between autism and physical health matters. Listening to autistic people about their bodies, pain, and lived experiences matters. #EDSAwareness

A huge thank you to the National Literacy Trust for donating this brilliant stack of books to our Lowestoft group. We have very excited bookworms! 📚

Real acceptance means schools that understand, services that take us seriously, and a SEND system that actually works. We're not there, but we're not stopping. We're celebrating every autistic girl & every parent, carer, & supporter alongside them. You are not alone . #AutismAwarenessDay

This workshop goes beyond awareness, it helps schools actively nurture positive identities, build understanding, and reduce stigma at its root. Find out more here https://bit.ly/AGNprimaryws or get in touch to book a workshop. #AutismAcceptanceMonth
