NEST is Coming to the Isle of Arran 🌊

This August, NEST will be visiting the Isle of Arran to deliver a series of free workshops designed to support greater understanding of neurodiversity.

Whether you are a parent, carer, professional, or a neurodivergent individual yourself, these sessions offer practical strategies, knowledge, and opportunities to connect with others in the community.

Alongside our core workshops, we are also offering a professionals-only session, giving those who work with neurodivergent individuals the chance to learn more about NEST, our role, and how we can work together.
