About Northorpe
We’re a West Yorkshire-based charity, supporting children, young people, and families for over 60 years.
We focus on wellbeing, mental health, and neurodiversity, and while we work with schools and other organisations, we run things independently.
Everything we do is shaped by the families we work with, helping children and young people thrive.
Our services include therapy and wellbeing sessions, youth mentoring, and family activities.
We also run training for parents and professionals, and pilot projects like Me + My Normal, giving extra support for children with Autism, ADHD, or other needs.
