Relaxed Movie Screening

Sit down and relax as we have a relaxed screening of Disney’s ALADDIN in Room G002.

What is a relaxed screening?

A relaxed screening takes place in an environment that is specially tailored for a neurodiverse audience, as well as those who find a more informal setting beneficial. 

The cinema environment is tailored to the needs of the audience.

For this screening:

- The lights are dimmed, though not off.

- The volume levels a little lower than usual.

Neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+: The 'Double Rainbow' Intersection

This NCW event celebrates people who are both LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent; an intersection often referred to as the ‘double rainbow’ because we fall into two spectrums, both of which use rainbow imagery.

There is a strong correlation between neurodivergence and LGBTQIA+ and we are unfortunately at much higher risk of discrimination, bullying, and suicide.  This needs to change!
