What INCLUDE IN AUTISM NE LTD does

INCLUDE IN AUTISM NE LTD (trading as Include 'In' Autism) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) limited by guarantee, registered in England (company number 10876482), that delivers early intervention, crisis prevention, and outreach/in-reach support services to autistic individuals and their families across the North East of England. The organisation operates from sites in Peterlee (registered office), Sunderland, and Durham, and describes itself as the only provider of its kind serving the North East region, with stated ambition to extend into Scotland. Its service model is centred on the "Launchpad Pathway" framework and includes Outreach/In-Reach and short breaks support, Positive Behaviour Support, specialised Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) workers, rapid response crisis support, transitional planning for childhood-to-adulthood moves, specialist workshops and training, and The Autistic Hub Durham community drop-in. There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is fundamentally human-led and person-centred, with programmes co-developed by autistic people, parents, trainers and practitioners.

The business model is a mix of statutory commissioning by local authorities and health professionals, personalised budgets/direct payments from individual service users, fees for training/workshops, and small unit-priced community event revenue (e.g., £5 per Trick or Treat ticket). The organisation is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC, location 1-6509513703) and complies with GDPR. Customer segments split between individual autistic people (and their families/carers) across an age range of 2-65 years, and statutory commissioners (local authorities, GPs, social workers) who refer or purchase care packages. Distribution is via direct referral, personalised budget self-referral, and community access through The Autistic Hub Durham. Revenue, headcount, and any funding rounds are not publicly disclosed; ownership is founder-led (Marie Jevon, CEO) with a volunteer governance layer rather than institutional investors.
