Every charity shop includes neurodivergent people. Is your team ready?
Do any of these statements sound familiar to you?
- “I’m struggling to recruit volunteers.”
- “One of my managers doesn’t know how to support a team member.”
- “I don’t want to say the wrong thing.”
- “How do I make our shops welcoming for everyone?”
- “We’re updating our EDI strategy.”
- “Could we be losing brilliant volunteers because we don’t understand neurodiversity?”
Every charity retailer works with neurodivergent colleagues, volunteers, donors and customers – yet most retail leaders haven’t received charity retail-specific training on how to support them. We want that to change.
We’ve joined with The Donaldson Trust to create a unique charity retail-focused webinar, bringing together retailers from charities across the UK.
Our Introduction to Neurodiversity for charity retailers session provides a practical and engaging overview of neurodiversity. Designed to build understanding, challenge common misconceptions, and increase confidence, this session explores what neurodiversity is and how small changes can make a significant difference.
Around 1 in 7 people are thought to be neurodivergent.
That means every charity retail organisation is already supporting neurodivergent colleagues, volunteers and customers – whether they realise it or not.
To make sure you’re offering the best experience for all your staff, volunteers, donors and customers, join us on our webinar at 10am on September 17th.
