✨ New Monthly AuDHD Peer Support Group ✨

From February 2026, ADHD Bristol Collective will be hosting a monthly peer-led support group specifically for people who identify as AuDHD (Autism + ADHD).

We’ve always known that the crossover between these two experiences needs its own dedicated space — and we’re creating it.

🗓 When: 2nd Wednesday of every month

⏰ Time: 7:00–9:00pm

📍 Where: St Werburghs Community Centre, Horley Rd, BS2

💷 Cost: £5 per person

This session will replace our usual ADHD support group on that week only.

Everything else stays the same — same time, same place, same price.

These sessions will remain peer-led, supportive, and grounded in lived experience, offering space to connect with others who truly get the unique challenges (and strengths) of being AuDHD.

🧡 We’re really proud to be holding this space.

📢 A.B.C IS TAKING A DECEMBER BREAK! 📢

We’re pressing pause for December 2025 so we can reflect, recharge, and get to work planning an exciting year ahead. We’ll be using this time to shape our 2026 vision, learn from your feedback, and build new collaborations with brilliant people and organisations.

Thank you to every single person who joined our meetings, socials, coffee mornings, and workshops this year. 🧡

2025 has been a year of massive growth, and it's been incredible to see so many neurodivergent minds finding connection, community, and support with us.

And the biggest, ginormous, bells-on THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers. Your energy, dedication and heart are the reason A.B.C continues to thrive. We appreciate you more than you know. 🧡

Take care over the festive season, and remember — our WhatsApp community is still here if you need connection, a chat, or just your people. 💬

✨ See you in 2026! ✨

Nathalie is a Certified Coach!

It's been a huge journey in a very short space of time so I'd like to thank @moefoundation for creating the course, introducing me to the most incredible group of people. 

I'd like to thank Lisa at @interculturecic for telling me about the course in the first place and being my supervisor! 

This photo is the moment I was told I'd passed, and what that really represents. My growth, my confidence, my positivity, my achievements. It's all relative to building a better life for myself, my beautiful girls, and shouting loud about Neurodiversity in society. 

Now the real work begins, giving space for neurodivergent minds to realise their potential through person-centred coaching and using the power of collective accountability. 

I'm excited for the future. Who's joining me? 

🌟 Have your say on ADHD peer support in our area! 🌟

Healthier Together (our local NHS partnership for Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire) is running a project to improve ADHD support before and after assessment — and they want to hear directly from you. 💬

They’re especially looking for people who have attended ADHD peer support groups (like A.B.C. or others) to share their experiences:

✨ What’s helped you most?

✨ What could be improved?

✨ What kind of support do you wish existed?

Your feedback will help shape how peer support is offered across the region — so future services reflect real lived experience. 💛

You can take part by:

🗣 Joining an informal chat (1:1 or small group)

🧠 Or completing a short online survey — whatever feels easiest for you.

📍 It’s open to anyone living in Bristol, North Somerset, or South Gloucestershire.

⏰ It only takes a few minutes, but your input could make a lasting difference.

👉 Find all the details in the information sheet which can be emailed to you, or available via our Facebook  group and WhatsApp Community

Together, let’s make peer support stronger, fairer, and easier to access for everyone. 💪💛

Callout - ADHD and co-occurring conditions

Hi everyone 👋

I’m putting together a short presentation about ADHD and co-occurring conditions (like dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc.) and how they impact day-to-day life, especially in the workplace.

I’d love to include some real voices and experiences from our community. If you’d be happy to do a short, informal interview (around 10–15 minutes) about your experiences and strategies that help you, please let me know.

Interviews can be done in person, over Zoom, or even just recorded audio if that’s easier.

You’ll get to see how your story will be used, and you can stay anonymous if you prefer.

It’s really about sharing strategies, challenges, and strengths so others can learn from us.

If you’re interested, drop me a message directly 🧡

Thanks so much,

Nathalie
