Aim Higher Beverley

Founded by two experienced parents, Nicola Robinson and Gill Jagger, Aim Higher

provides support for youngsters with neurodiversity, mental health, and educational needs.

The pair have used their lived experiences to develop social groups and outings adapted to

the social and sensory needs of young people on the spectrum.

The charity also runs free informal and friendly monthly support for parents and caregivers at

Beverley’s Armstrong’s Café. The meetings are pressure free and help connect families

facing difficulties caused by autism and neurodiverse conditions both in education, work, and

at home.

The charity said: “We are here for children and young people aged 0-25, as well as their

families every step of the way. Whether it’s providing resources, guidance, or emotional

support, we believe in uplifting the whole family as they navigate their journey together.”

The group meets on Flemingate on the third Wednesday of the month. The next meeting

takes place today 20th November from 10 am, with special guest will be Sym Tomlinson from

Healthwatch East Yorkshire. Organisers encourage people to pop in and chat at any of their

events.
