At the 2024 Westminster Insights Sport for All Conference, Neurodiverse Sport made a powerful impact, with Charles Freeman, NdS Director, and Mikey Mottram, NdS Co-Founder, sharing an insightful presentation on the organisation’s position within the sector and the broader landscape of neurodiversity in sport. Their speech focused on the three main objectives of Neurodiverse Sport: promoting neurodivergent excellence, ensuring equitable opportunities in community sport, and highlighting the role of sport as a protective factor for neurodivergent individuals.

The speech was incredibly well-received, offering a perspective on neurodiversity in sport that had not been aired publicly before. It sparked deep reflection among the audience, triggering conversations that led to numerous individuals reaching out to explore further collaboration and support. The session emphasised the need for change in the sector and reinforced the importance of creating spaces in sport where neurodivergent individuals can not only participate but excel. This moment at the conference was a key milestone in advancing the neurodiversity agenda within the sports community.
