A little understanding can make a big difference. 💙

Swipe through for some helpful reminders about neurodiversity and how we can create more understanding and inclusive spaces for everyone. 💙

Another fantastic time at Georgie’s Wombles! 🚮

We absolutely love all of Stride’s social activities, and this one might just be our favourite! It’s such a great way to have fun, spend time together and give back to our community by helping to clear litter and create a cleaner, safer and more beautiful environment for people, animals and nature. 🌿

A big well done to everyone who got involved! 👏

How many Oscars did the original Jurassic Park win? 🏆🦖

An incredible turnout for this month’s Stride Social Quiz! And if you hadn’t already guessed from the question, this time our theme was films! 🍿🎥

Coaches, clients, and their plus-ones enjoyed a brilliant evening filled with plenty of friendly competition, socialising, and laughter.

Our wonderful quiz host, Michael, even got into the spirit of things by dressing up as the infamous Freddy Krueger! 🔪👻

As always, we had a winner for Best Team Name, and this time it went to Star Wars: The Empire Strides Back! Although, we have to say… we think the Media Team deserve a shoutout with Striderman: We’re Bringing It Home. 😉🕷️

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us, Michael for once again being an amazing host, and of course, a special thanks to all of the new additions who came along!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to our next quiz. The theme is..... MUSIC! 🎶

Thank you to Stride for finding this beautiful diamond that the pressure of neurodivergence helped create ✨ Stride Yorkshire

Sometimes, getting an autism diagnosis isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the beginning of understanding what you need to thrive.

After recently receiving his autism diagnosis, Shaun came to Stride for support. Like many people, he found himself asking an important question… what comes next?

For Shaun, that meant taking some time away from work to better understand himself, his strengths, and what he needed from his next role.

Our role was to get to know Shaun as an individual and understand what the right working environment would look like for him.

"From my first meeting with Mykell, where we talked through my ambitions and what I was looking for, the whole process felt straightforward and supportive. Stride took the time to understand me as a person before introducing me to Pass Logistics, and from the interview through to starting work, everything ran really smoothly.” - Shaun.

We’re incredibly proud to have supported Shaun into a role with local company Pass Logistics and, honestly, what a result!

Shaun has settled into his role brilliantly and is absolutely smashing it, but the support hasn’t stopped there.

“Every three weeks we catch up with Mykell to review progress, set new goals and discuss how we can continue supporting Shaun from a neurodivergent perspective. Having that ongoing partnership has been invaluable and has given us confidence that we're providing the right support as Shaun continues to develop within the business.” - Alex, Job Coach at Pass Logistics.

“This is the first time I've genuinely enjoyed going to work. I feel understood, trusted and valued, and I'm able to focus on what I do best without feeling micromanaged. It's made a huge difference to both my confidence and my enjoyment of work. I feel understood, trusted and valued.” - Shaun

That’s exactly what we want every person we support to feel in the workplace.

A huge well done to Shaun for taking that next step, and to Pass Logistics for creating an environment where he can be himself, play to his strengths, and thrive. 👏

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Alanna to Stride for a week of work experience! 💙

During her time with us, Alanna had the opportunity to experience different areas of Stride, from coaching and employment support, to media, and everything that happens behind the scenes.

She spent a lot of time with our Coaching Team, gaining a first-hand insight into how personalised routines and practical strategies can support clients in building independence and confidence.

She also joined our Media Team for a day, learning more about content creation, editing, and social media, and how these play an important role in raising awareness and connecting people with the support available.

And, of course, we couldn’t let the week go by without getting Alanna involved in one of our brilliant badminton sessions! 🏸

It was fantastic to have Alanna with us, and we’re so pleased that her week gave her the opportunity to explore her future aspirations while developing her understanding of neurodiversity.

A huge thank you to Alanna for spending the week with us, we loved having you! ☺️💙
