Supporting neurodiverse families
We are an award winning Hertfordshire based charity supporting families of children and young people who are on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD), have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or other neurodiverse conditions.
Whether families think their child or young person may be autistic or have ADHD, are going through the diagnostic process, or have already received a diagnosis they are all welcome at SPACE.
A Brief History of SPACE
We have been running since 2007 and we became a registered charity in 2017. We are staffed by an incredibly hard-working and enthusiastic team of parents and carers and are passionate about supporting our Hertfordshire families. Everything we do is designed to help families navigate local services, build confidence, share knowledge and enjoy social opportunities and activities.
As a local charity our ability to support all of our amazing local families is dependent on the generosity of our supporters. Every donation – no matter how small – makes a real difference. You can find out more about donating or fundraising for us here.
