🧥 A coat you no longer wear could make a real difference to someone this winter.

Onemda, led by our Participant Council, is proud to be supporting a community coat drive alongside local communities, helping provide warmth, comfort, and support to people in need during the colder months. Community initiatives like this show the power of people coming together to support one another.

If you’ve got a spare coat or jacket in good condition, now is the perfect time to give it a second life.

Today is Autism Awareness Day, but it's about more than awareness. It’s about acceptance, understanding, and inclusion.

Everyone experiences the world differently, and for people with autism, the right support and environment can make all the difference in building confidence, connection, and independence. At Onemda, we’re proud to create spaces where people feel supported to be themselves and achieve their goals.

Let’s continue to build a community where everyone belongs.
