We believe that understanding leads to better collaboration and innovation. Our champions are here to provide a safe space for any questions about neurodiversity – no query is too big or small!

Together, we can make Warwick a more inclusive place for everyone.
Our two-step rollout
We're keen to start a group, led by those with a neurodivergent diagnosis, for individuals who are neurodivergent or work closely with neurodivergent people.
In this first phase of our Neurodiversity Champions, we are selecting individuals with a formal diagnosis. In the future, we plan to introduce Neurodiversity Allies, which will include those who are undergoing diagnosis or have a close connection to neurodiversity, such as supporting a colleague or family member.

Meet your Neurodiversity Champions

Charlie Ward
I work at WMG as the Project Officer for ED&I and Athena Swan, supporting a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
Diagnosed with combined ADHD and RSD in 2025, I’m passionate about advocating for others and driving positive change. I also manage depression, which has shaped my empathy and understanding.
