Evolving everyday places into
inclusive, safe spaces.
NeuroSafe Spaces are a growing network of community venues, shops and businesses throughout South Liverpool, that have committed to becoming more accessible to those living with Neurodiversity.
This is about reducing the quiet isolation many families experience and building a city that doesn’t just talk about belonging, but actively creates it.
What are NeuroSafe Spaces?
Many people experience anxiety, sensory overload or emotional overwhelm when out in the community, especially those with Neurodiverse minds and their support circles. NeuroSafe Spaces helps by making support visible and available in everyday places, such as cafés, shops and cultural sites.​

Proud Partnerships
This project was proudly created with EPIC Social Care C.I.C, a social care provision in Speke. Our service users are the inspiration behind this project and the co-creators of some of the free resources we offer. Created with neurodiverse people, for others with neurodiversity.
​
We are also thrilled to have the creation and distribution of this project backed by the Liverpool Airport Community fund as well as the National Lottery Community fund. Without their support, this concept wouldn't be possible.
