NeuroHub Community Ltd is not a sole endeavour. The people on this page are the people who make the work we do for Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people possible.
Directors
David Gray-Hammond, MCMA |Chief Executive Officer | Community Facilitator
David Gray-Hammond (he/they) started his career writing a small blog on the intersection of autism and addiction. Following the emergence of his Schizophrenic traits in his late teens and over the course of his training as a Forensic Archaeologist, David returned home from university addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Over the course of his ten years in recovery David’s work in the neurodiversity movement grew rapidly and he is now a multiply published author and academic researcher, mindfulness practitioner, expert consultant and trainer on neurodiversity related topics, and increasingly focused on community building.
David launched NeuroHub Community Ltd as a logical evolution of his work over the past decade, and hopes to create opportunities to have a meaningful and significant impact on the overall wellbeing of a community that, ultimately, he feels saved his life.
Jonathan Towse, M.Phil, MIBMS | Chief Scientific Officer
With a background in academic research, and almost five years experience working in an NHS diagnostic laboratory, Jonathan is our newly appointed Director & Chief Scientific Officer for Neurohub.
With his input, we aim to perform impactful research that will benefit the neurodivergent community, and inform change in care, collaboration, and community spaces.
In his spare time, Jonathan is a singer/songwriter, and one day aspires to release an album of music.
Tigger Pritchard
Tigger Pritchard is an award winning, awesomely Neurodivergent (AuDHD and more!) and extremely passionate professional working to enable all to be more Neuroinclusive, more Neuro-affirming. Tigger speaks at conferences and works both nationally and internationally to help all Neurocognitive-styles understand each other, to bridge the double empathy divide, to create a more inclusive society for everyone.
Associate Directors
Helen Edgar | Community Facilitator
Helen Edgar (she/they) is an associate director of Neurohub.
She is late-identified Autistic & ADHD and works as an Autistic advocate and consultant. She is a published writer and a parent to two neurodivergent children. Helen worked for over 20 years in Early Years and SEND education, specialising in supporting children with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
In 2022, she founded Autistic Realms, a platform offering neurodiversity-affirming resources. Helen’s work is grounded in lived experience and the theory of monotropism, exploring Autistic attention, flow states, and burnout. Her writing draws on neuroqueer theory and posthumanist thought to reimagine well-being, learning, and relational support beyond normative paradigms. Helen also works closely with Stimpunks, Thriving Autistic and GROVE.
Admin Staff & Volunteers
Adele Murray | Deputy Safeguarding Lead (NeuroHub Community Space) & Website Manager
Adele brings both lived experience and extensive professional insight to her role at NeuroHub Community Ltd. She is diagnosed with ADHD and Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, and self-identifies as autistic, with a formal assessment pending. As an autistic parent to an autistic son, Adele’s work is deeply rooted in personal understanding, advocacy, and a commitment to improving systems for neurodivergent people.
Her career spans over two decades across health, education, social care, and the voluntary sector. Adele began her professional journey as a youth worker and practising artist in Manchester, before working in residential care supporting young people with attachment disorders. She has worked as a private carer for a client with a brain injury, and as a Teaching Assistant supporting children with autism and ADHD.
Adele holds a BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing from Sheffield Hallam University. She previously practised as a Registered Nurse within the NHS and in the private sector, including working as an Infection Prevention Specialist Nurse and as a nurse in a dementia-focused nursing home. Adele is no longer a registered nurse and is not currently in clinical practice.
Her professional and personal experiences have given her a deep understanding of the barriers neurodivergent people face in accessing safe, appropriate healthcare and community support. At NeuroHub, she is particularly passionate about safeguarding, ethical practice, accessible information, and building compassionate, informed systems that honour neurodivergent strengths.
Outside of work, Adele’s special interests include spinning wool and crochet — practices that offer creativity, regulation, and connection to slower, more intentional ways of living.
