Last Meeting: Thursday 26th March 2026
We were delighted to host the first Neuro-Inclusion Network on Thursday 26th March on Zoom. This meeting brought together 14 participants from across Cheshire East, including groups directly supporting neurodivergent individuals and other local non-profits.
A huge thank you to Ana Fay, Talk2Ana, a wonderful guest speaker sharing her experience with neurodivergence and overcoming challenges in work and life. Please see meeting materials below and keep an eye on this site for next Network dates.

Neuro-Inclusion Network Overview
Building on the great interest and engagement from our Neurodivergence in the Voluntary Sector training, we aim to create a space where you can share your lived experience, learn strategies for being more neuro-inclusive, and explore practical ways to overcome barriers in your role.
Whether your group works directly with neurodivergent* individuals or if you are looking to learn more about neurodiversity to better support your team and service users, this network is here to help.
CVS Role
CVS will act as facilitator and organiser of the network, but we want it to be an open space for sharing knowledge. Your attendance and input are essential, whether you have specialist experience in neurodivergence or if you’re new to the area and want to learn more.
Network Schedule
The first network will be online to assess interest and gain insight to shape future networks, followed by an in-person meeting building on the discussion and themes identified.
Neurodivergence Training with CVS
CVS also offer training on Neurodivergence in the Voluntary Sector, available as a live session on Zoom (free) and as eLearning (£5)
