About Us
About Havenswood Trust
Our journey began with a group of parents and carers, supporting one another through the highs and lows of raising neurodivergent children. As we shared stories, challenges, and strategies, one thing became clear: families like ours are too often left to piece things together on their own, in a world that isn’t built for us – with little access to the right education, therapies, and spaces to help us thrive. What we needed was a welcoming community - somewhere school, family support and wellbeing existed together under one roof - and so, Havenswood Trust was born…
…because together, we can build the kind of community we’ve all been searching for.
Show your support as we build our community village for neurodivergent children in Scarborough, Whitby and the coastal regions!
By weaving together educational, emotional, and community support on one accessible site, we’ll ensure every member of the family feels seen, valued and equipped to thrive together.
The Facts
Today in the UK, around 15–20% of children and young people are neurodivergent, meaning they interpret information and engage with their environment differently from their peers. This sizeable group highlights an ongoing societal challenge - not only for education and integration but also for ensuring fairness and equality for everyone.
