My name is Cordelia, and I founded ABUK (Autism, Beaudon, Understanding Kindness) in 2021 after my son Beaudon was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. 

At the time, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what the future would look like. Wanting to connect with others in a similar position, I reached out locally and started a small group for children and their families. 

What began as a simple idea quickly grew into a supportive community and a space where families could share experiences, find reassurance and feel understood. 

As demand grew, so did our vision. ABUK became a registered charity and has since developed into a dedicated, SEN-friendly environment designed to support autistic children and those around them. 

Today, ABUK is a place where children are accepted for who they are, and families know they are not alone. 

And this is just the beginning.
