"Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists, it is making a new space, a better space for everyone"
- George Dei
To feel out of step, misunderstood or simply that no one cares has a significant impact on self-esteem,
self-worth and our resilience to get through every day; we can be surrounded by people yet feel totally alone.
This kind of isolation, like autism and Neuro-divergence, is hidden in plain sight all around us everyday.
Equally, change is not created in isolation, nor is the tolerance, understanding and compassion needed for a truly inclusive society
Open Arms is intended to be the catalyst for that change
"Lonely is not being alone, it is the feeling that nobody cares - unknown
