New Sessions & Programme Launches

We build support based on what families tell us they need.

Recent launches include:

Monthly Support Timetable

Drop-ins. Workshops. 1:1 guidance. Whole-family support — not just a chat.

As new programmes open, this is where you’ll see them first.

 

Awards, Recognition & Milestones

We are proud that STRM’s lived-experience approach is being recognised locally and nationally.

Recent milestones include:

• Shortlisted for a national SEND award for partnership working
• Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child resource distributed to over 18,000 families
• Growing team of trustees, staff and volunteers with lived experience
• Cross-sector partnerships with local authorities and health partners

Every award and milestone reflects the families who trust us and the community that continues to grow around them.
