Beneficiaries
- Children / Young People
Children access creative workshops that build emotional literacy, confidence, and self-regulation. The space offers calm, supportive experiences that help prevent future mental health issues.
- People with Disabilities
Neurodivergent and disabled people benefit from a sensory space designed for regulation, wellbeing, and safety—helping them engage more fully in community life. Our space will increase footfall within the city centre as we provide a safe haven.
- Adults
Neurodivergent adults gain a safe, inclusive space to manage sensory needs, access mental health support, and feel part of a connected, understanding community.
- Community
Kuria Cave strengthens the local community by reducing isolation, supporting wellbeing, and promoting understanding between neurodivergent and non-ND residents enabling communities to come together to enjoy Newport's cultural activities.
- Unemployed
We help ND people access and stay in work, while supporting children to remain in school—helping parents gain employment and families break long-term cycles of poverty.
- People in poverty
By offering work opportunities and helping reduce workplace barriers for neurodivergent people and those with poor mental health, we aim to improve access to income and long-term financial stability.
- Marginalised or vulnerable groups
Our space supports all neurodivergent people, those with poor mental health, and families at risk of exclusion. We welcome intersectional identities and work with community groups to offer inclusive, affirming support and safe access to help.
- Other Charities or Voluntary Bodies
We offer training on neuroaffirming, sensory-friendly environments to help other groups make their services more accessible to neurodivergent people. Other groups are also able to make use of our sensory friendly space.
