Autism Acceptance in Action: NEAS Shares Our Story

6 April, 2025
Sea Change CIC Featured by NEAS for Autism Acceptance Week

We’ve been featured by the North East Autism Society for Autism Acceptance Week!

In their article “Acceptance in Action”, North East Autism Society (NEAS) explores the heart behind Sea Change CIC – how we offer inclusive, supportive opportunities for autistic adults and those with learning difficulties to build skills, confidence, and careers.

“They’ve all said it’s been because they’ve been accepted at Sea Change. Just that acceptance is enough for some people.” – Sarah Farrell-Forster, Founder

Since opening in 2019, we’ve supported over 100 trainees through our step-by-step training model co-produced with neurodivergent staff. We’re proud to now operate in two locations: South Shields and Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens.

“Sea Change to me personally means having a chance… a chance to prove I can do things despite the struggles and barriers I encounter.” – Lexie, Team Member since 2019

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised by NEAS and hope this feature inspires others to create more inclusive spaces.
