BBC Highlights Our Exciting New Chapter in Sunderland

7 March, 2025

We were delighted to welcome the BBC for an exclusive first look at our brand-new Sea Change Café at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens!

Following the incredible community support sparked by the BBC’s earlier coverage of our original café’s challenges, this new venue represents a fresh chapter filled with hope and opportunity for autistic and neurodivergent adults.

“Having the BBC here to see what we’ve built means a lot… It’s a very significant day. We are moving into a city which is amazing, into a public building which we hope will get us noticed and known in the city.” – Sarah Farrell-Forster, Founder

With new mentors, trainees, and a welcoming space in the heart of Sunderland, we’re excited to keep expanding our mission.

Thank you to the BBC and everyone who helped make this possible!
