About Neurodivergent Family Activity Sessions
Run by ND Experiences UK, these inclusive, family-focused sessions support neurodivergent children and their families across Sussex. Each session is a safe, welcoming space where:
Children engage with sensory play, arts & crafts, games, and activities tailored to neurodivergent needs.
Families build connections without pressure or judgment.
New resources are introduced regularly, including sensory equipment and informative materials.
Flexibility is key — families arrive and leave when it works for them, and children participate at their own pace.
Led by founder Rosie, who voluntarily dedicates over 10 hours to each session, these sessions are a lifeline for many. Families often travel from across the region and describe them as vital due to the lack of inclusive support at weekends and during school holidays.
Why We Need Your Support
Until now, Rosie has personally covered a significant portion of the costs. While she remains committed, sustaining and growing the sessions requires community support. Funds raised will go towards:
Venue hire and insurance
New resources and sensory equipment
Trained facilitators to ensure every family gets the care they deserve
The more funds we raise, the more families we can support — and the longer we can keep these vital sessions going.
