About
Katie is at it again!

Attempting to run 13 miles for Starling will be a big challenge, but absolutely needed as we move into the winter squeeze!

The projects Starling run are a vital and FREE place for neurodivergent young people to get creative, be themselves and make friends.

Why are Starling's projects important?

If you are neurodivergent you face huge, invisible barriers everyday, including access to education, work and public spaces.

For example, if you have ADHD you are much more likely to be excluded from school. It is estimated that almost half of the prison population are neurodivergent. Only 16% of UK adults with an autism diagnosis are in full time employment, despite 77% wanting to work. Only 10% of UK organisations say that they consider neurodiversity in their employment or people management practices.

Starling work with young people to support them to navigate these challenges by building supportive networks of friends, providing opportunities to speak about their experiences and advocate for themselves as they transition from school to the adult world.

The services we provide have never been more needed as many families we work with cannot afford to pay for extra curricular activities or transport to get to them. All of our activities are free and we provide transport, meaning everyone (both parents and young people) gets a much needed few hours a week to take time for themselves and feel good.

As Starling are a small charity with very few overheads, your money will be going to directly funding our projects.

£25 will support one young person to attend our projects for one week

£100 will support one young person to attend our projects for one month

£1000 will support one young person to attend our projects for a whole year!

We hope you consider donating!
