A free, creative project for neurodivergent young people (11–25) to explore health and wellbeing data through art with local artist.
About this Event

Invisible Numbers is a creative project exploring how neurodivergent young people experience health and wellbeing — and how often those experiences are missing from the data used to make decisions about services, education and care.

Across six Saturday workshops, participants will work with acclaimed local artist Serena Rogers to turn lived experience + local and national data into visual artwork. We will hold a culminating exhibit after the sessions are completed (details TBD).

This project is graciously funded by Health Data Research UK.


Who Is This For?
  • Neurodivergent young people aged 11–25
  • Autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic and otherwise neurodivergent youth
  • Young people who may not usually see their experiences reflected in “official” systems
  • Parents/carers are welcome to attend with younger participants if support is needed

No diagnosis required.
No art experience required.
All abilities welcome.



What Will Participants Do?
  • Take part in 6 relaxed, supportive creative workshops
  • Explore themes of physical health, wellbeing, and how these are captured
  • Create artwork that reflects real experiences and brings data to life
  • Have work displayed in a public exhibition during Autism Acceptance Week
  • Those who attend all 6 sessions will receive a £15 gift card as a thank-you for taking part
