What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week? 16th to 20th March 2026!

This week is all about recognising and celebrating the strengths of autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, Tourette’s and other neurodivergent people. It’s a chance to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes and build more inclusive schools, workplaces and communities.

In Cheshire East, growing awareness has helped improve diagnosis and strengthen local support - including a 372% rise in ADHD diagnoses in Nantwich and Rural since 2017. Neurodivergent people are now better supported as a result, we also have a volunteer lived experience woman’s neurodivergent social group (details below). In addition to the women’s social group, another community response of support is also forming our local offer of sensory support for families and is being developed within Nantwich Methodist Church at their Drop and Shop play sessions.

Let’s keep the momentum going. Be the organisation that champions neurodivergent talent and creates inclusive cultures where everyone can thrive. 💛

Sandra joined us after experiencing several falls which left her feeling nervous about leaving the house. She worried that another fall might mean losing her independence.
After completing the programme, Sandra’s balance, strength and confidence improved significantly. She now confidently walks around Nantwich, does her own shopping again, and no longer feels like she needs to rely on family members for everyday tasks.
This is exactly why we created Move for Independence ☺️ to help people stay strong, confident, and independent.

Do you know what waste goes where?

Your silver bin is for clean, dry, loose recycling – like paper, cardboard, tins, glass bottles and jars, empty non-hazardous aerosols and plastic bottles.

Putting the right items in the right bin helps recycling work properly and keeps loads from being spoiled.
