Shine Through Autism is a family-centred organisation supporting children and young people with autism and special needs, together with their parents, carers and families. We believe every child deserves to be valued, understood and given the opportunity to shine.
Every child is unique, with their own strengths, abilities and support needs. We provide a safe, welcoming and understanding environment where children and young people can build confidence, develop meaningful connections and feel included. We are also here for families—offering practical guidance, advocacy, emotional support and connections within the community.
Mrs. Kate Onomeregwa Ajayi is the Founder & CEO of Shine Through Autism. She is a UK-based Nigerian mother, Registered Nurse and autism advocate. Her advocacy is informed by lived family experience supporting a child with special needs, alongside her professional background.
We are committed to creating welcoming and inclusive opportunities for children and young people with autism and special needs, while supporting parents, carers and families with understanding, practical guidance and community connection.
Supporting Children. Empowering Families. Celebrating Every Ability.
