Core offering

The Toby Henderson Trust is an independently funded UK charity that delivers free autism support services to families in the North East of England. Its core offerings include a Specialist Autism Family Support Service, private multidisciplinary autism assessments (adult and child, including under-5s and 5-17 age bands), XR Therapeutics intervention for fears and anxieties, the Northumberland Neuro Support Service for pre- and post-diagnostic journeys, M.A.T.E.S. social groups, sibling support, and educational webinars and workshops.

Product overview

The Toby Henderson Trust is an autism charity operating as a service-based organization rather than a technology product company. It offers a portfolio of support services organized around autism care: core family support services, private clinical assessments (adult and child), therapeutic interventions including XR Therapeutics for anxiety, and Northumberland Neuro Support for pre/post-diagnostic journeys. The organization maintains two physical locations (Toby House in Bedlington and the Autism Hub in South Shields) providing in-person support groups, workshops, and social activities including M.A.T.E.S. groups, Sibling Superstars, and Toby's Magical Garden. Online delivery includes webinars, Zoom-based support groups (Grandparents and Families of Autistic Girls), and booking systems. The service portfolio is funded through donations and partnerships with platforms including Enthuse, PayPal, and JustGiving.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Anna Kennedy Online: UK autism charity providing support, schools and advocacy for autistic children and families. Comparable in its parent-led charity model and family-support focus, though more advocacy-oriented than TTHT.

Others

• ADHD Foundation: UK neurodiversity charity providing training, parent programs and school support. Adjacent peer due to TTHT's partnerships with ADHD support groups and overlap in parent/carer training and education professional development.
• XRAi (XR Therapeutics): Extended reality therapeutic platform provider for anxieties, phobias and autism-related challenges. Already a strategic partner of TTHT; comparable as an enabling technology vendor rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Scottish Autism: Scotland's national autism charity providing advice, support, education and services across the lifespan. Comparable in mission and multi-service charity model, but serves a different UK nation.
• Autism Concern: Regional autism charity operating in Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire offering family support, social groups, and adult services. Comparable in service portfolio and regional-charity model to TTHT's North East focus.
• Autism Anglia: Regional autism charity serving East Anglia with family support, adult services, and educational programs. Comparable to TTHT in its regional-charity footprint and family-focused support offerings.

Broad incumbents

• National Autistic Society: The UK's largest autism charity providing information, support, advocacy and services nationwide. Directly comparable as a charity offering family support, educational resources, and adult services, but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth than TTHT.
• Autism Initiatives: UK-wide charity providing residential, educational, and community support for autistic people. Comparable in its charitable autism services model; overlaps with TTHT in family and community support delivery.
• Caudwell Children (Caudwell Neuro): UK charity providing autism assessments, therapy and family support including a free autism diagnosis service. Comparable to TTHT in delivering private assessments and therapeutic support, but at materially greater scale and funding base.

Direct peers

• Ambitious about Autism: UK charity focused on autism education, youth support, and family services including assessments and transition support. Highly comparable to TTHT in mission (autism family/children support) and service mix (education, assessments, family workshops).
