Founded in February 2024, Bridging Brains CIC is a community-focused organisation committed to supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. Rooted in our core values of embracing diversity, fostering connections, and empowering growth, we strive to create a society where every individual is celebrated, accepted, and empowered to thrive.
OUR STORY
Bridging Brains CIC was founded in February 2024 by a group of dedicated mums who have experienced the unique challenges of raising children with additional needs. From navigating complex systems to facing social isolation, we understand the struggles that families like ours encounter every day. Our mission is to bridge these gaps by creating opportunities, fostering inclusion, and ensuring that every child and family feels valued and supported in their journey. Sky’s the limit for our passionate and dedicated team to work towards it.
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to help neurodivergent individuals reach their full potential. We achieve this by identifying their unique interests and providing skill-based activities such as games and sports, music and dance, and arts and crafts. We also bring families together through social activities like picnics, day-outs, fun events, and well-being sessions, creating a supportive community where everyone can thrive.
We believe support extends beyond children. That’s why we now offer special events for parents and careers, including regular meetups, workshops, and expert-led talks. These initiatives provide a safe space for sharing experiences, gaining knowledge, and building lasting connections. Our family well-being sessions—featuring yoga, meditation, and Pilates—focus on improving mental and physical health, helping families lead positive and healthy lifestyles.
Breaking Barriers and Building Acceptance:
A key focus of Bridging Brains is to break stigmas around neurodivergence, particularly in ethnic communities where understanding and acceptance may still be limited. Through culturally inclusive events and outreach, we aim to foster awareness, reduce discrimination, and create a society where neurodivergent individuals are treated as equals. Our WhatsApp parent group provides a platform for families to connect, share advice, and support one another. By updating event details and resources on our social media pages, we are expanding our reach to ensure more families can benefit from our services.
A Vision for the Future:
As we grow, we plan to introduce technology-based learning programs to equip neurodivergent individuals with the skills to navigate today’s digital world confidently. Additionally, by encouraging socialisation and skill-building activities, we aim to boost confidence and self-reliance in neurodivergent individuals.
Through consistent feedback and collaboration with families, our team is committed to evolving and improving our services. We are creating a safe, inclusive space where individuals and families can learn from one another, grow together, and thrive.
At Bridging Brains, we embrace diversity, empower families, and work toward building a better, more inclusive community.
