Glad We Talked®

Social Value

We support businesses, commissioners and public-sector organisations deliver practical, measurable social value through neuroinclusive Creative Health programmes.

Through Finding My Steady With Glad We Talked®, we can widen access to support, develop community skills, create paid opportunities and help people understand nervous-system health, communication and connection.


You bring the commitment. We help you turn it into something people can experience, use and remember.

Turn Your Social Value Commitments Into Meaningful Local Impact

Social Value Shaped Around Your Priorities

WHAT WE CAN DELIVER

Community Access

Fund free or subsidised Glad We Talked® places for neurodivergent people, families and communities who may experience financial, cultural or communication barriers to support.

Skills and Local Capacity

Equip parents, educators, practitioners, volunteers and community workers with practical knowledge they can continue using after the funded activity has ended.

Paid Lived-Experience Opportunities

Involve neurodivergent people and community members in paid co-design, consultation, facilitation and evaluation roles - ensuring that programmes are shaped with people rather than simply delivered to them.

Neuroinclusive Workplaces

Support employees and managers to understand neurodivergence, nervous-system capacity, communication needs, overwhelm and burnout - contributing to healthier and more inclusive working cultures.

Creative Health in Communities

Deliver accessible workshops that combine creativity, communication and nervous-system understanding. Activities can be adapted for community venues, schools, workplaces, services and public spaces.

Local and Sustainable Delivery

Where possible, we work with local practitioners, venues, artists and suppliers, while using digital, reusable or repurposed materials to reduce unnecessary waste.

How We Work

A Clear Route From Idea to Evidence

Understand

We begin with your social value commitments, contract requirements, target communities and local priorities.

Co-design

We shape an accessible offer with clear activities, outcomes and measures. Where appropriate, community members and people with lived experience are paid to contribute.

Deliver

Watoto Play delivers the agreed programme, workshops, training or community activity online, in person or through a blended approach.

Evidence

We provide an agreed record of delivery, which may include:

  • participation and completion
  • free or subsidised places provided
  • people trained
  • paid roles or placements created
  • participant feedback
  • changes in understanding or confidence
  • local organisations involved
  • local spending
  • accessible resources created
  • reusable or repurposed materials used

The evidence collected will be agreed before delivery so that it is relevant, proportionate and useful to your reporting requirements.
