ADHD Foundation The Neurodiversity Charity

The ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity works in partnership with employers, individuals, families, doctors, teachers and other agencies to improving emotional well being, educational attainment, economic independence and life chances through better understanding and self management of Neurodiversity in ADHD, ASC and related learning differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, Irlen’s Syndrome, dyscalculia and Tourette’s Syndrome. We also provide training for Businesses, Health & Education services Teachers, Social Care and other professionals, raising awareness to bring about positive change and inclusion in mental health, education and employment. Since 2017, the ADHD Foundation have coordinated multiple Umbrella Project art installations, which celebrates the gifts, talents and employability of those who are neurodiverse. It is part of a wider education project to celebrate neurodiversity, raise awareness and challenge stigma and discrimination. The umbrellas celebrate the unique gifts of every neurodiverse individual. In 2019, participating schools across the UK have installed the Umbrella Art display of their own. In Merseyside, Salford, Manchester and Heathrow, London, with the support of local councils and businesses, they have joined together in a dynamic project to ensure that our cities are ‘child friendly’ and places of opportunity for every child to be happy, healthy and achieve their potential.
