So excited to announce my new role as Lecturer in Psychology in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Centre for Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience (CSCN), at City St George’s, University of London!

I’m so looking forward to this next chapter, meeting new colleagues and students, and bringing my passion for psychology, neuroscience and neurodivergence into my teaching.

🫶🏼 YOU are the heart and soul of NeuroBloom!

🎞️ Looking through these wonderful photographs of our NeuroBloom 2026 audience reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

🗓️ Almost a year of careful planning goes into bringing each NeuroBloom conference to life. As a small charity, we work incredibly hard to keep ticket prices affordable, offering significant discounts to those receiving Universal Credit, pensioners and students. We also give away a small number of complimentary tickets, because although NeuroBloom is a fundraising event, we never want financial circumstances to prevent someone from being part of our community.

💷The reality is that our events don’t always generate a profit. Our founder, Dr Rachel V. Gow, does not take a salary for her work with Nutritious Minds Trust, aside from reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses.

👥Yet, year after year, we do it all again! Why? Because we see the friendships formed, the conversations sparked, the knowledge shared and, most importantly, the joy, connection and sense of belonging that NeuroBloom brings to our wonderful neurodivergent community.
Our attendees are not simply an audience. You are the reason NeuroBloom exists.

🎟️To everyone who bought a ticket, attended, supported, donated or helped spread the word, THANK YOU. Your support means more than you know, and we hope you left feeling inspired, understood and part of something special.

👩🏻‍💻And don’t forget! Subscribe to our new website for the chance to WIN TWO complimentary tickets to NeuroBloom 2027!

🎙️We’re already looking ahead to next year! If there’s a speaker you’d love to see on our stage, we’d love to hear your nominations. Equally, if your organisation is interested in sponsoring NeuroBloom or hosting a marketing stand, please do get in touch.

🛍️Our events sell out quickly, and with only around 10 marketing stand opportunities, we encourage you to register your interest early!

🧠🌸 With love and gratitude from all of us at Nutritious Minds Trust Charity xo 💋

A HUGE congratulations to Ben Branson and The Hidden (formerly The Hidden 20%), recipients of our Nutritious Minds Trust Charity “Neurodivergent Media & Advocacy Award” 🧠🌸

From an award-winning podcast to a growing charity and movement, The Hidden is amplifying neurodivergent voices, sharing powerful lived experiences, challenging stigma and championing greater understanding and inclusion.

With their exciting rebrand and campaign calling for the UK’s first Minister for Neurodiversity, Ben and his team continue to push for meaningful change!

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Ben as a keynote speaker at NeuroBloom 2026 and recognise his outstanding contribution to neurodivergent advocacy.

Congratulations, Ben! So very well deserved! 💚

INTRODUCING OUR FIVE COMMUNITY AWARDS!
For those who couldn’t attend NeuroBloom, Nutritious Minds Trust introduced FIVE new Community Awards this year!

The wonderful idea was the brainchild of Charlotte Dormon from Good Health PR, who suggested that, as our charity is all about giving back and building community, what better way to recognise the remarkable individuals, organisations and brands raising the bar in science, brain health, inclusivity, creativity and advocacy!

Our five categories:
🏆 Neurodivergent Media & Advocacy
🏆 Brain Health Brand Impact
🏆 Contribution to Nutritional Psychiatry
🏆 Neurodivergent Music & Creativity
🏆 Inclusive Education

A huge thank you to Charlotte for inspiring these awards! We hope they become a wonderful annual tradition celebrating those genuinely making a difference.

📣 Nutritious Minds Trust Charity 🍓are absolutely delighted to announce Jemima Zand, Co-Founder of Mini Vie, as a Gold Sponsor of NeuroBloom 2026 and one of our guest speakers

🎓Jemima is a neuroscience graduate, mother and Co-Founder of Mini Vie, a new science-led children’s nutrition brand created to raise the standard of children’s supplementation through evidence-led formulation, ingredient integrity and greater transparency.

🔬Inspired by the gap she saw between advances in nutritional science and many of the supplements available to families, Jemima set out with her mother and Co-Founder, Claire Dutton, to create a brand grounded in research and designed around the nutritional needs of growing children.

🧠 With a particular interest in children’s cognitive development, nutrition and the gut-brain connection, Jemima brings her neuroscience background into Mini Vie’s development, with an approach that starts with peer-reviewed research and established nutritional guidance rather than trends.

🌸 At NeuroBloom 2026, Jemima will be joining us as Mini Vie launches its exciting new brand, and we are thrilled to have both Jemima and Mini Vie supporting our mission to nurture ADHD and neurodivergent minds.

📅 Friday 9th October 2026
📍 The Ministry, London
🌸 In support of ADHD Awareness Month

🎟️ NeuroBloom is now SOLD OUT, however tickets are currently on sale to live stream but this is subject to demand, otherwise please join our wait list in case someone cancels.

🫶🏼A huge thank you to Jemima and the Mini Vie team for becoming a Gold Sponsor of NeuroBloom 2026 and supporting the work of Nutritious Minds Trust Charity.
