Arthur Ellis have joined the pledge to support the Milton Keynes Neurodiversity Charter, a movement for adopting more neurodiversity affirming practises.

By working together, we are agreeing to contribute to the sustainable impact of The MK Umbrella Project and to a legacy for a more inclusive Milton Keynes.
