As 2024 draws to a close, we’re filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement. This year has been one of connection, collaboration, and celebration across Ayrshire’s neurodivergent communities — and we couldn’t have done it without all of you.
Here’s a look back at some of our standout moments from the year:
📈 By the Numbers
1,110 Referrals - Each one a story, a family, a journey — and a reminder of why we do what we do.
923 Individuals attended our 77 workshops across Ayrshire. We shared knowledge, sparked conversations, and grew together.
17 Neurodevelopmental Pathway Family Engagement Events - Bringing families into the heart of the process to listen, learn, and co-create support that works.
59 Whole Team Meetings- Because collaboration starts with showing up for each other.
2 New Team Members - Welcome, Carla and Kristi! It’s been a joy to have you join us.
1 Big Move - We’re settling into our new office — more details coming soon!
✨ Team & Community Highlights
Every person in our network brought something unique to the table. Here are just a few moments we loved:
🛫 Working with Prestwick Airport
🎤 Presenting at the South Ayrshire Secondary Education Conference
🌊 Visiting Arran and connecting with families on the island
🧠 Developing our exciting VR Project
🤝 Supporting the ASN Summer Open Day with brilliant local partners
📍Delivering workshops everywhere from towns to tiny corners of Ayrshire
Each highlight represents a step forward — in understanding, inclusion, or simply human connection.
💚 What We’re Grateful For
This year wouldn’t have been what it was without:
Our hard-working team, always ready to step up and support one another.
The amazing families, carers, and individuals who trusted us to walk alongside them.
Our partners and collaborators, who helped us turn ideas into impact.
And of course, the wider Ayrshire community — thank you for championing neurodiversity and helping us build a more inclusive future.
🌱 Looking Ahead to 2025
We’re stepping into the new year with excitement, ambition, and open arms.
In 2025, we’ll keep learning, adapting, and standing beside those who need us.
Let’s build on this momentum — together. 💫
Thank you for being part of our journey this year. Here’s to a bright, bold, and brilliant 2025!
With heartfelt thanks,
The NEST Team
