TEIFI DIVERSE MINDS

A new group for neurodivergent adults in the Teifi Valley in West Wales

A new social and support group for neurodivergent adults living within travelling distance of Newcastle Emlyn in West Wales. Whether you have a diagnosis, are on a waiting list for a diagnosis, self identified, or seriously think you may be neurodivergent and would like to learn more, this group could be for you. We have a venue available in Newcastle Emlyn town centre, and hope to commence meetings during April 2025.

Meeting In Newcastle Emlyn


Unwind cafe, Market Square, Newcastle Emlyn, SA38 9AE. New Venue, Day & Time

This is one of our regular twice monthly meetings. It's a chance for potential new members, and anyone who would like to find out about us, to drop in for a chat, and meet current members. Stay a few minutes, or several hours.

This is a new venue. For our first 18 months we met in a pub, which didn't suit many people, but was free. We now have funding for a room in a cafe which is a much better environment for many people. If you have been deterred by our previous venue, please come along and see how you like this one. There is no obligation to spend money in the cafe.

If this meeting doesn't suit your needs, we hope to start additional meetings in other places around the Teifi Valley during 2026 and 2027, but we need to meet you before we can do this! Come along and help decide the future of the group.

Complete Our Survey

We want this group to meet the wants and needs of local neurodivergent people, and as a first step we have a survey we would like as many people as possible to complete. This asks questions about the type of meetings you would like, what unmet support needs you have that we may be able to help each other with, and the best times for you to attend meetings. We would also like to know if there is any interest in holding some meetings online.

Anything you see on this web site is just some initial suggestions to get things started. If it doesn't suit your needs, please tell us, and we will try develop the group in whatever way brings the most benefit to as many people as possible.
