ABOUT US
Neurodiverse Sport CIC is a not-for-profit organisation, founded by Caragh McMurtry & her husband Michael Mottram in 2022.
The duo founded Neurodiverse Sport (NdS) is response to their lived experience of neurodivergence in sport.
Caragh is a former Great Britain rower, Tokyo Olympian and Autistic, and Michael (Mikey) is a former Great Britain rower, current elite gravel cyclist, Dyslexic, Dyspraxic and ADHD - together they have over 30 years experience of neurodivergence & high performance sport.
The Neurodiverse Sport executive team continues to grow with two Directors Zoe-Jane Littlewood and Charles Freeman joining the fold in 2023, and Leah Godfrey and Callie Poston appointed COO and Head of Digital in 2024. With these latest additions, the organisation has also welcomed a number of fantastic neurodivergent volunteers. Register your interest in volunteering here.
Our vision is for neuroinclusive practice to be the norm in all sports.
Our current mission is to facilitate learning and advancement through the sharing of neurodivergent lived experiences in sport.
Our Team & Values
We are dedicated to being as representative and as inclusive as possible. We do not believe in short cuts and appreciate honesty and authenticity - it's the only way to make true progress after all!
As our team expands, we hope to grow our impact alongside - at every level of sport.
We aspire to use the stories of successful neurodivergent sportspeople and athletes to set an example to sports teams, clubs and organisations, and to inspire those who feel most marginalised and underrepresented.
We see success as medals and accolades for some, and simply putting one foot in front of another for others - both are as inspiring when achieved through adversity...
... after all, every one of us faces differing degrees of challenge in our lives.
