Jigsaw are celebrating after receiving confirmation from The Charity Commission that they have achieved Charity Status.
On 16 September 2011 two parents, who were feeling isolated and alone following their children receiving a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism, attended a meeting at The Oak Tree Centre looking for support and advice for their families. Following this meeting Jigsaw was formed.
Since its creation Jigsaw has opened group sessions in Denbigh, Rhyl and Colwyn Bay and will be opening a new group session on Wednesday 6 November 2013 at the newly refurbished Canolfan Ni, Corwen. Further sessions will be opened during 2014.
Jigsaw provides emotional support, practical advice, guidance, empathy and understanding to adults, young persons, and families of persons, who have been diagnosed, are being assessed, or are showing behaviour traits of Autism and/or ADHD. Jigsaw also provides opportunities for the whole family to interact together in a low sensory environment during our monthly Family Sessions and day trips.
Donna Reid, Founder of Jigsaw, stated "Jigsaw is a wonderful support network for our adults, young persons, children and their families who are usually left feeling isolated and alone when their child/young person is diagnosed with Autism and/or ADHD which can have a detrimental effect upon the whole family. We believe it is paramount that public awareness is raised of the difficulties our children experience on a daily basis as well as the amazing Abilities they possess. We firmly believe that support is more than just a word, it's an Action".
We would also like to welcome Miss Sarah Davies who will be our Family Support Worker Volunteer. Sarah will be running our Denbigh group as from September 2013. Sarah will be working within the community of Denbigh to raise awareness of Autism and ADHD as well as providing emotional and practical support to families. If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer for Jigsaw please visit our Volunteer page on our website.
