About us
Making Change Possible
A2ndvoice CIC supports autistic people, children, young people and families across London and surrounding areas.
Founded in 2012, we began as a grassroots support group for families navigating autism, isolation and a lack of culturally informed support. Today, we are a recognised autism and neurodiversity organisation focused on advocacy, inclusion and community support.
Our Mission
Our mission is to give autistic people, ADHD individuals and families a second voice.
We help families access information, feel supported, build confidence and connect with others who understand their journey.
Supporting Diverse Communities
We work closely with African, Caribbean, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Dual Heritage communities.
Our aim is to challenge stigma, raise awareness and make autism support more accessible, inclusive and culturally informed.
Led by Lived Experience
A2ndvoice CIC was founded by Dr Venessa Bobb Swaby (H.C.), Founder, CEO and lived-experience leader.
Our work is shaped by autistic people, families, specialists and community partners, ensuring support remains authentic, practical and meaningful.
