Team United use the power of sport as a platform for Neurodiversity to flourish
Team United work with young people with Autism and other neurodiverse conditions. We are affiliated to The Scottish Football Association through Scottish Para Football and recognised as the Go To programme for young people with autism and neurodiversity to participate in football.
We have developed a person-centred player journey which provides opportunities for everyone. Whether starting out in the game, looking to be part of a team, wishing to play fun or progress to a more competitive environment. The pathway provides opportunities for everyone.
The organisation merged with Hibernian Community Foundation in September 2023, with the aim of increasing participation for neurodivergent people across Scotland , working with community grassroot clubs.
We use the power of football as a learning platform to break down social barriers that young people with Neurodivergent conditions face when participating in football and team environments.
What we do
“Neurodiversity” is a word used to explain the unique ways in which people's brains work, for example a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD and many other conditions.
We deliver football programmes and initiatives that are designed to help neurodivergent children and young people aged 10 to 24 years to connect, flourish, discover and shine. We also provide mainstream services to any child or young person who wants to connect using some of our resources and projects. This is usually done within a school setting.
We promote an environment where young people with Autism and other Neurodivergent conditions can play football and be part of a team, whilst adapting to the intense social and communicative demands they are likely to experience when involved in football.
Team United delivers and develops a range of football sessions and social activities for young people with Autism and/or Neurodiverse conditions. enquiries@teamunited.org.uk
In September 2023, Team United merged with Hibernian Community Foundation. The merger will allow Team United to enhance and expand our services and ensure our continued growth. Our services will be unaffected by this merger. Contact us at enquiries@hiberniancf.org
