About Our Hub
Our Hub is a proposed community-led project in Manningham, Bradford. We want to create a welcoming place where young people are listened to, their strengths are recognised and families feel connected rather than judged.
Families can face barriers when looking for affordable, understanding activities outside school. Those barriers can include cost, sensory environments, travel, timing or simply not feeling heard. We're exploring whether a local learning and connection space could help.
We're exploring suitable spaces in Manningham, including a possible café-linked model. No permanent venue has been agreed.
Our vision
A Manningham where neurodivergent young people and their families are understood, valued and able to thrive on their own terms.
Our mission
To create accessible, goal-led, neuroaffirming learning and family connection that strengthens autonomy, practical skills, confidence and belonging.
Every young person's experience matters.
Goals are chosen with the young person, not imposed on them.
Neurodivergence is not something to fix.
We adapt spaces, communication and activities.
We welcome people of every culture, faith and none.
We safeguard participants, listen to feedback and report honestly.
Our Hub aims to welcome the wider community. The first proposed Raasta pilot focuses on neurodivergent young people aged 8–16, including those without a formal diagnosis. The pilot's exact eligibility and support capacity will be confirmed before recruitment.
Our Hub is in development and intends to operate through a Community Interest Company. Registration is not yet confirmed.
