Support Inclusive Employment From the Ground Up

Every Action Creates Opportunity

Support our mission and make a difference

The Ground Up Project is built on partnership. Whether you’re an employer looking to create inclusive roles, a supporter wanting to fund our work, or someone excited to visit our café, there’s a way for you to help young neurodivergent people thrive.

Together, we can challenge inequalities and build a more inclusive future.

Partner as an Employer

Create job opportunities that matter

We work with forward-thinking businesses to offer supported internships and inclusive employment. If you can offer time, space, or mentorship, you could open a door for a young person who’s ready to shine.

Support our Work

Fund change and fuel opportunity

Donations and fundraising help us deliver training, expand our reach, and open more doors. Whether it's a one-off gift, workplace fundraiser or long-term support — your generosity powers our impact.

Visit the GroundUp Café

Enjoy great coffee, support great people

Our café at Theatre Porto is run by young neurodivergent people gaining real-world experience. Pop in for a brew, meet the team, and see our mission in action — every visit counts.
