Hello, my name is Wendy Hadlington, and I’m delighted to introduce myself as one of the new Project Coordinators here at Grace House.

Grace House is a Sunderland based charity working across the North East, providing support to children and young people with a disability and neurodiversity (or on the pathway to a diagnosis) and their families. Offering services to the whole family and wrap around care to each individual wherever possible.

My role is to support parents and carers, ensuring you feel valued, listened to, and fully supported.

I have spent many years working with families across Sunderland, using my experience and knowledge of local services to help people access the right support quickly and confidently. I’m excited to bring this experience to Grace House—not only to assist parents and carers directly, but also to help strengthen and expand our programme of therapeutic and wellbeing activities.

If you are a parent or carer of child or young people with a disability, neurodiversity or on the pathway to a diagnosis I am here to support you.

Contact Grace House on: 0191 535 2088 or email Wendy directly: wh@gracehouse.co.uk
