Dave Logan, Charity Coordinator, said.
“At Johns Club we have a real knowledge and hands on experience of neuro diversity and through the Hub we feel we can bring real support to people who are living with these conditions.
John Phillips, Chairman and Founder of Johns Club, said:
“As people may know though the last couple of years it has been difficult for all charities’ we are out the other side of that and we are looking forward to providing better services with more training, but these things all cost money and all charities are finding it difficult so we are looking at different ways to fundraise.
