Sometimes having somewhere to rest, regulate and recharge can be the difference between someone being able to attend an event — or having to miss out.

Back in June, Chris used NuroCove at Verity and Jamie's wedding and was kind enough to share his experience.

A huge thank you to Chris for allowing his feedback to be filmed, and to VJ Appleton, founder of Spark Hub at Divergent Emergent CIC, for capturing it for us. Please take a look at VJ's amazing work at https://www.divergentemergent.co.uk/
And, of course, thank you to Verity and Jamie for including NuroCove as part of their day!

What an amazing weekend. We worked with our partners Talu Studios to create and fill 3 placements, for neurodivergent people who are interested in the creative industries. These took place on the set of Talu studios Special Brew. We cant thank everyone from Talu enough, for the encouragement and inclusion that was shown. 🙏🏻

We’re really pleased to announce a new partnership between Divergent Emergent and Talu Studios

The reason behind it is pretty simple: we want to help create a creative industry that is more inclusive, accessible and open to neurodivergent people.

That means creating real opportunities to get involved, try things out, discover strengths and gain experience in professional creative environments, not just talking about inclusion from the outside.

Talu Studios is a Wales-based film and documentary production company creating narrative-led films, cultural documentaries, and cinematic brand storytelling. We collaborate with brands, broadcasters, cultural institutions, film funds, and commissioners to develop and produce distinctive stories root
