Little Brains is an inclusive wellbeing space for children, young people, adults and families, especially those with additional support needs. It was created for the families who often feel like they do not quite fit anywhere else. It is a place where you can walk in as you are, without having to explain yourself or apologise for your child.

At its core, Little Brains is about belonging. It supports children and young people who may struggle in mainstream environments, and it supports their parents and carers too. Because when a child or young person is struggling, the whole family feels it. There are structured groups, relaxed sessions, carer support, creative activities and space just to sit with a cuppa and breathe. It blends gentle therapeutic support with real life community connection.

The space itself is flexible and welcoming. It can shift from a lively play café to a quiet sensory area, from a boys’/girl's Unmasked session to a storytelling group. It has become known as somewhere that does not give up on families. If a child has been excluded, misunderstood or labelled elsewhere, they are met with patience and persistence here.

Little Brains is built on volunteers, lived experience and heart. It is not about appearances or chasing income. It is about creating something steady and sustainable that families can rely on. Over time the aim is to grow into a stable hub that opens regularly, offers consistent support and creates paid roles while still holding onto its values.

More than anything, Little Brains is a community. It is a place where people feel seen, accepted and supported together, not alone.
