ADHD Hoodies

Would you like to shout from the rooftops about being an ADHD Champion or know somebody else that would? The SPACE Team get so many compliments on our distinctive hoodies that we are now selling them to raise funds for the group.

The distinctive thing about our hoodies is that you get to personalise the letters on the back, which lets you choose how the letters ADHD define you. The SPACE team all have hoodies and although they look the same on the front, no two are alike. At present we’re only offering adult sizes in two colours but we will be expanding this in the very near future.

The hoodies will be £39.99 each and will include a small donation to help keep our group running. SPACE don’t receive any funding, so buying one of our hoodies will play a valuable part helping us support local families.

If you’d like your very own ADHD hoodie let us have your details and we’ll make sure you have your personalised hoodie before Christmas. We will be adding the hoodies to our very own online shop in the near future, but for the next couple of weeks we’ll be collecting orders either on our website, through Facebook or face to face to ensure that we manage to get orders processed in time for our Christmas meet up next month.

SPACE Take On The Titan – Sponsored Zipwire

On October the 7th the SPACE Team are travelling to Wales to take on the Titan.

Titan is a four person zipwire that flies 2000 metres down a Welsh valley, which raises the question of why four women, three of whom are terrified of heights, are driving to Wales to put themselves through that ordeal. The answer to that question is that they are raising money for SPACE Stockport, the ADHD parent support group they run.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition which is regularly characterised by hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. It is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be challenging, especially if children and young people have problems managing their behaviour or experience difficulties at school.

Despite all the scientific research there is a lot of misinformation about ADHD, which leads to ignorance and negative stereotypes. To help combat these problems and raise awareness of the facts, we’re challenging the misinformation about ADHD by challenging our fear of heights. October is ADHD Awareness month so we decided to celebrate and raise funds for our group with a sponsored Zipwire.

ADHD is still stigmatised and parents and carers often find themselves on the front line. SPACE provides information, advice and support for parents in a friendly open environment, with others in a similar situation.We share information on a variety of topics including school conflicts, medication, and the diagnosis process. We are also able to signpost parents to services which can help them and their children. As a community of ADHD parents we are able to share personal experiences, which can especially helpful for those with a new diagnosis who may feel overwhelmed.

SPACE holds regular monthly meet ups and provides online support, but we’d like to extend the range of services we offer and unfortunately that costs money, so we’re taking on the Titan and we’d appreciate your support. If you’d like to make a donation to our zipwire challenge please visit our Just Giving page where you can donate securely.

If you happen to be in Wales on the 7th of October and hear screaming, don’t worry it’s just the SPACE Team supporting parents, abolishing myths and fighting sterotypes.

Wish us luck.
