Wolves Foundation are supporting a celebration of neurodiversity featuring a panel of guest speakers being staged at Molineux next month by Graceful Minds.
Graceful Minds is an organisation which was launched around the idea that neurodivergent people should lead the design of the support they receive, and sets out to build a more understanding, inclusive and empowering way forward.
The Foundation have engaged with Graceful Minds to support their efforts to build a more inclusive community, where every neurodivergent person is understood, supported and valued for who they are.
‘Graceful Minds: Celebrating Neurodiversity & Authentic Connection’ takes place at Molineux from 5pm-8pm on Wednesday February 18th, and tickets can be purchased by clicking here.
“This is an event which aims to bring together neurodivergent people, families, supporters and allies for an evening of connection, learning and community,” said Manni Sehra, managing director of Graceful Minds.
“Created and led by a neurodivergent leadership team, it will be a calm, comfort-first space where attendees can meet like-minded people, explore shared interests and take part in optional Q&A sessions and talks, without any pressure to ‘mask’ or perform socially.
“We have lined up both specialists and lived-experience contributors, and the event will be delivered in a welcoming and sensory-aware environment which puts inclusion into practice.
“This is all in line with Graceful Minds’ overall objective of providing a welcoming mental health community for people who want a real connection without having to over-explain.
“We bring people together through honest conversations, 1-to-1 mentorship support, workshops, group sessions and helpful educational resources.
“Our mission is to break the stigma around mental health and make sure everyone feels seen, supported and less alone on their journey to wellness.”
In the UK, around 15 to 20% of the population is neurodivergent, which is about 13 million people,
Wolves Foundation have supported work in this area and, in early 2025, set up their own neurodiversity network within the charity, open to anyone who is neurodivergent, a parent of someone who is neurodiverse, an ally, or simply anyone keen to learn more.
The network, which is continuing to grow, offers a safe space for people to discuss challenges, offer support, share resources and suggest ideas for positive change, as well as breaking down stigmas and stereotypes.
Graceful Minds welcomes people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, Tourette’s or PDA profiles and neurodivergent individuals, families and supporters.
Early Bird tickets are available for £10 by using the code Early10 prior to February 5th, with tickets after that costing £13. Click here to purchase tickets.
