Empowering Neurodivergent Youth
About Blooming Genius
Blooming Genius was created by Genius Within CIC to support neurodivergent youth and is dedicated to a future where young neurodivergent talents are celebrated. As part of Genius Within’s commitment to social impact, Blooming Genius support neurodivergent children (under 18s) and their families by providing small grants to UK grassroots organisations. Our application process is accessible, transparent, and paperwork-light, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most.
At Blooming Genius, we strive for a world where all neurodivergent young people are fully supported and empowered to navigate life and education with confidence and joy.
By combining lived experience with professional expertise, we focus on communities that often lack adequate information and support around neurodiversity, ensuring they receive the resources and recognition they deserve.
