Shelley is a parent carer to three autistic young people with other additional needs. She is also autistic and has ADHD, which gives her a unique perspective.

Shelley has many years of experience volunteering with youth organisations and schools. She leads the older kids club at SNAPS and has been a Trustee since 2022. Shelley also runs independent support groups – one for parent carers and another for neurodivergent adults.

In her spare time she enjoys theatre, arts and crafts, and spending time with family and friends – especially at the beach when the sun is shining.
