Welcome to The Toby Henderson Trust

The Toby Henderson Trust (TTHT) is an independently funded charity supporting autistic children, young people and adults, their families and carers in the North East of England. 

We provide relevant, appropriate and accessible support for autistic young people from two years into adulthood, whilst also empowering parents, families and carers by sharing knowledge, experience and understanding.  We acknowledge that yours or your child’s situation is unique and we encourage you to contact us to discuss how we can offer individual support.

Supporting autistic children, young people, adults and their families for over 20 years

Please take some time to look through our website at the impressive range of services and support we provide to the autistic community

in the region – including families, carers and the individuals themselves.  However please note that there are some things

WE DON’T DORespite, Outreach & Enabling services;  Holiday playscheme;  Home visits;  Assessment and diagnosis of ADHD. 

We are not a mental health care provider and we do not provide CRISIS support.

Happy 23rd Birthday to us !!!!

I think it’s fair to say that as I get older, the years certainly pass more quickly. What do you all think? (but rest assured that it’s not mandatory to be as old as me to feel like that …..)

But after 23 amazing years with TTHT this year I have decided (not to retire ha ha ha ….got you all there !!!!) but  to practice more patience with myself and to celebrate more of the “later life joys”…… whilst also marveling at the blossoming that we see in the children, young people and families we support – they are all simply “masterpieces in the making” – despite some of their very difficult times, for sure.

Note from us all – please continue to be gentle with yourselves. And never forget to come to us when you might need us. The door will always be open.  And as it’s our birthday……there might even be cake.

With much love, admiration and thanks, as always,

From Lesley and Team Toby x
