This page highlights the progress, key achievements, and impact of the Afrikindness Neurodiversity Community Programme (ANCP).
Launched in 2024, the programme was developed in response to research findings that identified significant gaps in awareness and support for neurodiverse children, particularly within African and ethnic minority families.
With the generous support of our stakeholders and funders – Leeds Community Foundation and Sir George Martin Trust, we have made meaningful strides in promoting neurodiversity awareness and delivering tailored support to the communities most in need.
