Support & supporters
NeuroHappiness is committed to building neuro-inclusive environments and offering neuro-inclusive services and activities that neurodiverse families can access.
We’re a registered not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). It means we pay our staff a fair wage, but any profits we make are reinvested directly into the organisation.
As a CIC, we’re also able to apply for grant funding. This helps us reduce the cost of our programmes and activities, making them more financially accessible to those who might not otherwise be able to take part.
Grant funding takes time to apply for, success is never guaranteed, and as a small organisation, what we receive is often limited and unpredictable. But when we do have funded opportunities available, you’ll find them listed here.
FREE 6-weeks coaching
We currently have grant support available to run a six-week group coaching programme for parents and places are completely free.
If you live in Cornwall, have an autistic child (or are awaiting an assessment) and want to secure a place on our group coaching programme but are unable to afford to do so, we have secured funding (thanks to SPAR store) for 12 parents to join our six-week neuro affirmative coaching programme launching in Summer 2026.
Your feedback helps us grow
The more feedback we receive about your experience with any of our programmes, the more we can improve them. It also helps us demonstrate the impact of our work, which strengthens future funding applications and our work to help others.
Supporting our CIC
One challenge we’ve come across as a registered CIC is that corporates often overlook CICs when offering support. That’s why we’re especially grateful to SEASALT Cornwall, who generously volunteered their time and expertise to help build this very website, and to SPAR who provided us with a generous grant to launch our pilot group coaching programme for parents. Thank you, SEASALT and SPAR.
If you know of a business, charity, fund, or individual who might be interested in supporting any aspect of our work, please get in touch.
