Welcome to Neurodivergent Safe Space - we are a registered non-profit charity based in Westcliff on sea, Essex, UK that is dedicated to supporting Neurodivergent (ND) (Autistic/PDA/ADHD/DCD) teens and young adults (aged 13-21 years) who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
If you want to know more, please visit our 'About us' section (press the button below).
ND teens and young adults experiencing mental health difficulties are one of the most vulnerable, misunderstood, and poorly supported minorities in our society.
Through our work and training programmes, we hope to help ND teens and young adults to traverse their mental health difficulties, gain confidence, make friends, gain the support that they need, and to have the opportunity to become part of the ND and wider communities.
*** NEWS UPDATE***
It is with great sadness that we announce that we will be closing our premises at 9 West Road, Westcliff on 30th November 2025
But fear not! We are still going to be running a club every friday 10am until 2pm at St Mark's Church in Westcliff.
This club opens on Friday 5th December 2025 at 10am.
Due to the fact that we are only able to run one weekly club there, we have decided to merge our age groups together, so this club will be for ages 13 and above.
As per our ethos of our club being a safe space where members are able to be themselves, we do not police member conversations; we only monitor for racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/bullying.
With this in mind, we ask parents of our younger members to consider that, if your child attends the mixed age group club, they may hear swearing or conversations that you may not feel are age appropriate, and to bare this in mind when deciding whether to allow your child to attend.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at info@neurodivergentsafespace.co.uk
We host a weekly clubs in Westcliff on Sea where ND teens and young adults who are experiencing mental health difficulties can come together, have fun, make friends, play games, and join in with
our weekly arts and crafts activity.
We also go out for activities, like indoor rock climbing and going to the beach, to name a couple, but
we have many more outings lined up.
