The Communal Family Village
Is an Autism and ADHD service for African, Caribbean individuals and their families.
The Communal Village was set up in July 2022 with the support of The Community Lottery Fund. Our year-long project provided therapeutic arts in the Birmingham and Sandwell Autistic community.
We are currently offering private Autism and ADHD, therapeutic sessions, interactive story making, and parents, grandparents, guardians and carers wellness groups.

“Having the ability to work though the booklets enabled me to become aware that I was not alone. We connected through our experiences and it was ok to be honest and true to ourselves that we are important too!.”

A carer’s therapeutic experience.
An enlightened Parent
“It was very hopeful that we are able to meet our own needs when we intentionally work together with sincere commitment and determination.”
“ I found the parent group a refreshing experience, being able to share the experiences of supporting and understanding the view of my autistic daughter and the lack of community aid that exists to help in these situations.”
An enlightened Parent
“The event was successful for it enable us to reflect on the awareness of the lack of representation as a whole for Melanated people but even more when living with Autism. We were able to make suggestions on how we could effect this change and what would it look like.”
