CAYA x DLWP: Relaxed Mornings block mentored by Come As You Are (CAYA)
What we'll do
A relaxed morning is for anyone with access requirements, complex needs, anxiety or those who would feel more comfortable in a quieter environment. You do not need to be quiet and are encouraged to be yourself, there will be additional staff available to support and an accessible introduction to the exhibitions, from our Learning Team. On this day there will be an optional drop-in creative workshop responding to the exhibitions for people that would like to connect with the work in a sensory way. If you have any questions or would like to communicate access needs in advance of attendance, please email learning@dlwp.com. Drop ins are welcome but it is advisable to book a place so that we know capacity. There is not a fixed start time to this event, and you can arrive anytime between 10am and 12pm. Please be aware that after 12pm the relaxed hours will be finished and the building may start to be busier with lunch time café audiences.

About your mentor
Come As You Are (CAYA)
Creating Spaces and Support For Families
Our Mission Come As You Are CIC exists to advance inclusion and accessibility for neurodivergent, disabled, and SEN children and their families. We create safe, supportive environments — alongside training, advocacy, and community-led programmes — where families can connect, learn, and thrive together. Our mission is simple: to make belonging the baseline. From our pop-up spaces and sensory-friendly projects to our workshops and professional training, every part of our work is designed to remove barriers and build community. Come As You Are CIC is currently finalising the establishment of The CAYA Foundation (CIO) — a charitable arm that will sit alongside the CIC to secure long-term sustainability and protect our inclusive work for future generations. Our Values Inclusion and Accessibility We design with accessibility in mind from the start — ensuring that every child, family, and professional can take part in their own way. Safety and Connection Our spaces and sessions prioritise comfort, calm, and care — offering a safe place to rest, play, and connect without judgement. Reducing Isolation We tackle social isolation by improving access to public spaces, opportunities, and peer support across the community. Advocacy and Practical Tools We support families with information, confidence, and practical tools — helping them to navigate systems and create change together. Co-production We champion lived experience as expertise. Families and professionals co-design the spaces, services, and training that shape inclusion locally. Our Aims We exist to: Advance inclusion and accessibility for neurodivergent, disabled, and SEN children and their families. Provide safe, supportive environments for play, connection, and community-led activity. Relieve isolation and exclusion by improving access to public spaces, services, and opportunities.
