Daisy Chain

Daisy Chain's mission is to support and empower autistic and neurodivergent individuals through the provision of holistic person-centred services, whilst promoting training, wellbeing, inclusion and acceptance regionally and nationwide. Initially launched as a community initiative for autistic children and young people in 2003, the charity has evolved significantly, and now also provides support for adults. Daisy Chain day centre is based on a 5.5-acre site offering state-of-the-art facilities and animal therapy. The charity also provides community outreach services across the Tees Valley and telephone and virtual support nationally. The organisation continues to strive forwards in developing new, needs-based services, expanding service offer, and campaigning for change and acceptance in wider society.
