Society for Neurodiversity S4Nd
Hambleton
Richmondshire
The Society for Neurodiversity (S4Nd) supports people who identify as neurodivergent, including their families, friends and our allies. We are a society for neurodiversity – a community and a movement.
S4Nd is a movement that will fight for the rights of neurodivergent people — for recognition, a fair share of resources, influence and status to enable people to live a good life.
S4Nd is built upon the principles of the Social Model of Disability. Society creates environmental and attitudinal barriers often based upon personal characteristics — age, disability, class, ethnicity, gender identity, race, religion and sexual orientation.
Our membership is open to all, but we put the needs of our neurodivergent members first. Our services are delivered online and people are welcome to join wherever they live.
S4Nd is a membership organisation. Members will be able to receive support and are also expected to contribute by supporting others within the S4ND community, whilst recognising that barriers may mean this is not always possible for all members at all times.
Our aim is to build a safe, friendly and supportive community where people in need are welcomed and nourished. These spaces will be designed to give practical help and support, giving our members the opportunity to live a good life. S4Nd’s Fundamental Principles will reinforce these aims.
