Question 1

Who are these classes for?

Accepted Answer

These cooking classes are designed specifically for neurodivergent adults — whether you're diagnosed, self-identifying, or exploring. All levels of cooking experience are welcome.

Question 2

Can I bring a support person?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Please let us know on the booking form if you’d like to bring a PA or support buddy so we can plan accordingly.

Question 3

What access needs can you accommodate?

Accepted Answer

Lots! You’ll be able to share your access needs when booking, and we’ll do everything we can to make the space supportive - whether that’s sensory tools, dietary needs, or just knowing what to expect on the day.

Question 4

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Nope - we’ll provide all the ingredients, equipment, and even aprons. Just bring yourself and anything you need to feel comfortable.

Question 5

Why isn’t this event free like some of Made in Hackney’s community classes?

Accepted Answer

This event is organised by The Neurodiverse Club, not Made in Hackney’s core community programme. While we’re hosting the session in their amazing kitchen, this is an independent event that uses a Pay-What-You-Feel model to help cover costs.

Question 6

Who do I contact with questions or access needs?

Accepted Answer

Please contact The Neurodiverse Club directly with any questions about the event or your ticket. Made in Hackney is kindly hosting us, but all communication should go through us — this is not part of their public programme.

Question 7

What does ‘Pay What You Feel’ mean?

Accepted Answer

It means you choose how much to pay based on your circumstances. We recommend:

£1 – minimum contribution
£10 – partial contribution
£20 – covers your place fully
£30 – helps pay it forward for someone else
No one is turned away for lack of funds.
