Trustee Chair

My name is Drucilla Nelson-Harding. I am a Christian and a single parent of two energetic boys. The younger is 11yrs old and he was diagnosed with Autism at age 3.  I have had a long career in health and social care over 20yrs working with various services including both children and adults, with my current role as a Social Worker for a local authority. God gave me the vision for this charity/ ministry about 7yrs ago. The vision was to share my experiencing of raising a young man with special needs and to share the hope and love I have experience to families who manages the unique challenges of raising children with Autisim. From the high levels of parental stress, to sleep disturbances, behavioural management, and social isolation, I am familiar with the impact of these on families and the need for a support system to cope. 

 Through my professional experience, I noticed increases the challenges caused by the limited awareness of the condition and interpretation of neurodiversity behaviour within the African and Caribbean community.  The Charity recognises the barriers of families accessing appropriate support and how the impact of these causes added challenges.  My passion to use my personal and professional experiences to influence cultural perspective and stigma about the Autism condition.  I am pleased to have partners with liked minded Trustee who have the same desire and drive to enhance the lives of the community.
