With Neurodiversity Celebration Week (16–20 March) fast approaching, Mirfield-based Northorpe Hall Child + Family Trust is launching a new inclusive fundraising event to celebrate what makes every child unique — while raising vital funds for children’s mental health services.
The fundraiser, part of the charity’s new campaign “A Place That Gets Me,” invites schools, businesses and community groups to hold a non-uniform or themed day where participants wear something that reflects their personality, passions or interests.
The aim is to encourage conversations about individuality and inclusion, while supporting Northorpe Hall’s wellbeing and mental health services — particularly for neurodivergent young people.
Ideas include:
• Wearing a favourite colour
• A sports kit or team shirt
• A favourite book, film or character
• Or anything that expresses what makes someone unique
Although the event is initially being run during Neurodiversity Celebration Week, Northorpe Hall are keen to highlight that it can be run at any time of year, leaning once again into the idea of it being a fully inclusive activity.
A fundraising pack will be provided to all participants, including guidance, activity ideas and promotional materials. To register or find out more, visit: www.northorpe.com/aplacethatgetsme
