NeuroSpicy
This new Green Team programme could be for you!
For any young person (12-18 yrs) with neurodivergence (autism and adhd), diagnosed or self-diagnosed, NeuroSpicy helps you explore and connect with nature and your own creativity.
The programme provides a range of outdoor and nature based activities, with an emphasis on exploring the natural environment in a sensory way.
The aim of the NeuroSpicy programme is to create a safe and welcoming space where young people can feel they don’t need to mask and can be comfortable acknowledging their neurodivergence.
A safe and welcoming green space where you can be you.
About NeuroSpicy
