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. Support families through peer connection, advocacy, and practical tools. Champion co-production — ensuring that those with lived experience shape the spaces and services that affect them.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
