Celebrating our National Diversity Awards win
We are honoured to share that Kirstyn has won the Entrepreneur of Excellence Award at the National Diversity Awards in association with HSBC UK. Out of over 85,000 nominees nationwide, this incredible accolade celebrates dedication to equality, diversity, and meaningful inclusion.
Recognised among 85,000 nominees
Standing out amongst more than 85,000 nominees is a surreal and humbling experience. Kirstyn was named the winner of the Entrepreneur of Excellence Award, reflecting countless hours poured into advocacy, support, and building accessible pathways for neurodivergent individuals and their families.
Pioneering sensory inclusion
Starting Alma Autism UK and developing the sensory tray Bible stemmed from a vision that learning Bible stories and who God is, can be done in creative and sensory ways, to make faith, learning, and the Bible truly accessible. Receiving this secular recognition brings profound value to the work done across communities, schools, and churches alike.
Empowering the autism community
This recognition belongs just as much to the incredible neurodivergent individuals and families who inspire our mission every day. It validates the vital need for inclusive spaces, tailored resources, and a wider understanding of autism as well as neurodiversity across every sphere of society.
"An inspiring entrepreneur whose tireless dedication to equality and neurodivergent inclusion has transformed sensory learning and touched thousands of lives."
