Always Invited Panel

Always Invited is an inclusive community supporting carers of neurodivergent people of all ages. We provide welcoming, understanding spaces where carers can connect with others who understand the realities of caring for a neurodivergent person. Our focus is on reducing isolation, building genuine connections and creating opportunities for carers and families to feel included in their local community. We offer social activities, carer-focused events, information sharing and opportunities to connect in relaxed, supportive environments. Neurodivergent people and family members are welcome at many of our activities, helping make participation more accessible for carers.

Frequently asked questions

What activities does the group undertake throughout the year?

Always Invited provides a range of relaxed and inclusive activities throughout the year, including carer catch-ups, social events, family-inclusive activities, community events and opportunities to share information and connect with other carers.

Activities are designed to reduce isolation and make it easier for carers to participate, including carers who may find traditional support groups difficult to attend. Some activities are specifically for carers, while others welcome the neurodivergent person they care for and other family members.
