Join Us on Our New Journey with Neuro-Sparks Support CIC

We’re excited to share some important news — we’ve officially launched Neuro-Sparks Support CIC, a new community interest company dedicated to supporting people in Burnley, East Lancashire and nationally who are currently under supported and underrepresented when it comes to neurodiversity awareness and support.


Our vision is to make high-quality neurodiversity training and individual support accessible to those who need it most — particularly community groups, non-profit organisations, economically inactive individuals, and those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access our services without funded support.
To bring this vision to life, we are:

• Actively applying for funding to deliver free neurodiversity training and support within our communities.
• Looking to appoint two passionate and committed individuals to our Board of Directors. We welcome expressions of interest from those with a heart for community, inclusion, and diversity.

In the meantime, we continue to provide fully funded support through the Access to Work scheme via the DWP. This includes:

• 1:1 coaching for neurodivergent adults
• Workplace support aides/job aide support
• Specialist workplace training for organisations

Additionally, we’re eager to connect with professionals in HR, Learning & Development, and Organisational Development professionals to explore how we can collaborate on workplace training that makes a real difference.


Last week, I had the privilege of supporting a group of early-career managers at Silentnight in Barnoldswick — a brilliant session that demonstrated the appetite for inclusive leadership development and neurodiversity awareness in the workplace.


If you're interested in joining the Board, collaborating with us, or simply want to learn more about what we’re doing, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Together, we can build a more inclusive and empowered community.
