A community
with heart.
Founded by Nicholas Watkins, NeuroSparks is shaped by volunteers, shared interests and a belief that connection can happen without pressure to perform.
We bring people together through social meetups, board games, picnics, workshops, creative activities and time outdoors. Some gatherings are lively and social; others make room for a quieter pace. Choice, respect and lived experience guide how we come together.
