The ND Harbour was founded in 2024, with the first year focusing on development, raising awareness of our services, and establishing accessible, inclusive activities. Our initial events were free online information sessions delivered by expert professionals, providing guidance and increasing understanding of autism, ADHD, and related support strategies for the wider community. Once funding was secured, we began offering face-to-face spaces, starting with a play session for neurodivergent children in September 2024. Peer support groups for autistic adults and parents of autistic/ADHD children followed in October 2024.

Section D Achievements and performance During the first nine months of The ND Harbour’s registration (June Summary of the main 2024–March 2025), the charity successfully established its initial services achievements of the charity and organisational structures. We secured a grant from the Colyer- during the year Ferguson Charitable Trust to support core costs, providing a foundation for sustainable operations. All planned groups were successfully launched, including peer support for autistic adults, peer support for parents of autistic/ADHD children, and play sessions for neurodivergent children, including those not in school. During this period, we estimate that around 50 participants attended these sessions, with positive early engagement and feedback. The charity strengthened its governance through the recruitment of experienced trustees, including a treasurer, lead safeguarding trustee, and a general trustee. Their expertise in finance, safeguarding, and organisational development has provided a strong foundation for future growth. We also delivered free online information sessions, raising awareness and providing accessible guidance on autism, ADHD, and related support for the wider community. Systems and processes for delivering inclusive, safe, and supportive sessions have been established, laying the groundwork for ongoing activities and increasing public benefit.

Section E Financial review The charity is at an early stage of development and currently holds no Brief statement of the free reserves. Given that the charity has been operating for just over a charity’s policy on reserves year, income received has been applied directly to delivering charitable activities and establishing core operations. The Trustees recognise the importance of building an appropriate level of reserves to ensure the financial stability and sustainability of the charity. As income becomes more consistent and predictable, the Trustees intend to establish a formal reserves policy and to work towards maintaining a level of reserves appropriate to the charity’s size and risk profile.
