Behind every number is a child trying to be understood and a family trying to find the right support.
TISNECH exists to create spaces where neurodivergent children and young people can be themselves and families do not have to keep explaining why they need something different.

TISNECH Saturday Neurodivergent Support & Sensory Sessions — Greenwich 2026–27
We are proud to have received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to deliver our TISNECH Saturday Neurodivergent Support & Sensory Sessions in Greenwich.
This funding is helping TISNECH provide inclusive activities, practical support and welcoming spaces for neurodivergent children and their families.
Thank you to National Lottery players for making this work possible.
I built TISNECH because I wanted my boys to have somewhere they could just be themselves. Then I realised how many other families were looking for exactly the same thing.
Built from lived experience, not just theory.
TISNECH began with my two boys.
As a late diagnosed Autistic Mum raising two neurodivergent children, I know what it feels like to search for spaces where your children are not simply accommodated, but genuinely understood.
Spaces where they can move, stim, communicate differently, take a break, make noise or simply be themselves without judgement.
I also know what it is like to be the parent constantly advocating, adapting and holding everything together.
That lived experience became TISNECH.
Today, we are building the kind of community we needed ourselves. A place where neurodivergent children can play, connect and belong, and where their parents and carers feel understood too.
TISNECH is a Community Interest Company. Any surplus we generate is reinvested into supporting neurodivergent children and families in Greenwich and beyond.
A registered Community Interest Company. Surplus reinvested into neurodivergent families.
Lived experience. Professional experience. A clear purpose.

That same lived experience is shaping what TISNECH builds next — including dedicated support for the people who care for neurodivergent children every single day.
Parent/Carer Wellbeing Space
Supporting a neurodivergent child can mean your own needs are often pushed to the side.
We are creating a dedicated Parent/Carer Wellbeing Space within The Inclusive Stories Neurodivergent Education & Community Hub CIC (TISNECH). A calm, low-pressure space where you can take a moment for yourself while your child is safely supported nearby.
There is no expectation to talk, join an activity or do anything at all.
Rest. Breathe. Regulate. Just be.
Because supporting the child means supporting the person who cares for them too.
Support built around neurodivergent families.
TISNECH is growing into a community where neurodivergent children, young people and their families can find play, connection, peer support, learning and practical support in one place.
Saturday Sensory Sessions
Supported sensory play sessions for neurodivergent children at New Charlton Community Centre, Greenwich. Parents and carers are present throughout and are welcome to connect with other families in our dedicated parent/carer space during the session.
Primary Education (Ages 5–12)
Flexible, sensory-aware learning designed around the individual child rather than expecting the child to fit one way of learning.
Secondary Learning (Ages 13–16)
Flexible learning, emotional regulation, life skills and creative opportunities designed for neurodivergent young people who may need something different from traditional provision.
Technology-Powered Support Plans
Coordinated, regularly updated support plans that bring together families, schools and therapists — so everyone working with your child is on the same page.
Young Adult Pathways (Ages 17–24)
Developing creative, digital, vocational and life-skills pathways to support neurodivergent young people as they move towards greater independence and adulthood.
Sports, Movement & Life Skills
Accessible sport and movement opportunities designed around neurodivergent children and young people, supporting participation, confidence, practical life skills and independence.
Parent & Carer Support
You spend so much time supporting your child. We want TISNECH to be somewhere you feel supported too. Parents and carers are present throughout all sessions and are welcome in our growing peer connection, workshops, advocacy and wellbeing space.
Creative Arts & Expression
Accessible creative programmes giving neurodivergent children and young people different ways to create, communicate, explore their interests and express themselves.
Food & Resource Support
We are developing practical, sensory-aware food and resource support for families, including understanding the needs of children with restricted eating and ARFID.
Community Events
Relaxed, inclusive opportunities for neurodivergent children, young people and their families to meet, play and connect without the pressure of traditional social spaces.
Support that grows with them.
Neurodivergent children and young people do not stop needing understanding when they move into a new age group. Our vision is to build support that grows with them — from age 5 right through to 24 — and never stops advocating for their families alongside them.

We can tell you what TISNECH means to us. But the families who come through our doors say it better.
"She was relaxed for the first time in a group... without TISNECH my child would mostly be at home."
Jennifer, mother of 7-year-old autistic girl with ADHD
Saturday Sensory Sessions
"Before TISNECH, my kids would have just been at home. There's nowhere else that feels safe enough — most places are too loud and too crowded. This is the only space we've found where they can actually be themselves."
Parent of two neurodivergent children
Monthly Community Events
"The difference in my son's mood after each session is night and day. He comes out calm, happy, and actually talks to me about what he did. We've tried so many places — TISNECH is the first one that's worked."
Parent of a 9-year-old boy
Saturday Sensory Sessions
"As a parent, you spend so much time fighting — fighting for a diagnosis, fighting for school support, fighting to be heard. Coming to TISNECH is the first time I've felt like I didn't have to fight. Someone finally understood."
Mother, Greenwich
Parent & Carer Support
"My daughter struggles in every group setting — she always has. But at TISNECH she joined in. Properly joined in. I stood there and cried because I'd never seen that before."
Parent of a 6-year-old girl
Creative Arts & Expression
"If TISNECH didn't exist, my son simply wouldn't have social interaction outside of school. Full stop. No other provision in our area works for him. This place is a lifeline — not just for him, but for our whole family."
Parent of an 11-year-old boy
