Groundbreaking Neurodivergence Centre Offers Lifeline for Children

This week, Dingwall is home to a new centre for neurodivergent children that is changing lives, not just through what it offers, but where it’s based.

For families raising children with autism or complex support needs, access to the right help can feel miles out of reach, because often, it is. This new space promises something different: care that’s close, custom-built, and community-led.
