We would like to thank Morrison’s Boundary Road for letting us bag pack at the weekend. As a small charity we are reliant on being able to regularly raise funds.
The funds enable us to run activities for our families and their children and young people with ADHD
These fundraising days also enable us to get into the community to raise awareness and hopefully reduce some of the stigma surrounding ADHD.
Brilliant day at St Helens Town Hall for the Parent Carer Information Day. Spoke to lots of parents and professionals. Handed out lots of our leaflets and newsletters.
Nice to see some of our lovely group members too, who popped in to see us during their lunch breaks
A big thank you to Listen4change for keeping us going with tea, coffee and pastries.
We’ll be there all day so please come down and say Hi!

At the end of the week my husband suggested we attend an event at Merseyside Police HQ. I didn’t really know what to expect or whether it would be relevant to our work.
All scepticism was wiped away! The passion and dedication of all those present was so inspiring and reassuring that people really are trying to make a difference.
I was totally blown away by the honest and moving speakers. Especially Mairead who shared her experiences ADHD for the first time publicly and importance of understanding invisible conditions, neuro diversity & disability.
It is so refreshing to hear people talking and speaking out about invisible conditions.
We also heard about Purple Light Up, the Autism card, Princes trust team program, Travelsafe and Our Blue Light.
On Monday 3rd December 2018 you may notice a few buildings around Liverpool (and the rest of the World) turning purple!
This is to celebrate and empower disabled people across the globe.

Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) have collaborated with the Cheshire Autism Practical Support (ChAPS) and Autism Together charities to launch the Autism Attention Card.
Sergeant Mike Brumskill spoke about the initiative and how long it took to set up due to funding. This card is designed to help people with Autism Spectrum Condition to receive appropriate support in an emergency situation. The initiative provides training for staff to engage more effectively with people with hidden vulnerabilities.
