Ambassador Spotlight with Molly Coppard
Molly Coppard
Founder – Kindroot Home
"Growing up, I always felt that some places seemed to drain every ounce of energy from me... understanding neurodiversity helped me realise it wasn't just me, it was often the environment around me.
Supporting Neuroplaces feels incredibly meaningful because it's helping to bring these conversations into the mainstream. Together, we have the opportunity to create environments that don't just accommodate difference, but actively enable people to flourish."

Accessibility in Action with The Stair Climbing Company
The Stair Climbing Company, our Accessibility in Action Gold Sponsor, specialises in powered stair-climbing and wheelchair access solutions, helping overcome accessibility challenges where traditional lifts may not be practical.
At Neuroplaces, they'll be demonstrating their solution in action, giving visitors the opportunity to see an alternative approach to improving access within challenging spaces.
Accessibility extends beyond compliance. It is about creating spaces that people can use confidently, independently and with dignity.

The Biophilic Experience with Urban Planters
Urban Planters is the UK’s leading interior landscaper, dedicating over 60 years to enriching workspaces with bespoke biophilic design. Operating through a nationwide network of 14 branches and over 150 specialist horticultural technicians, they provide seamless, one-stop planting solutions across the UK.
As our Official Biophilic Sponsor, they will bring the Biophilic Experience to life at Neuroplaces, using planting and natural elements to create sensory-friendly, lower-stimulus areas within the event. Through thoughtful biophilic design, they'll demonstrate how nature can help reduce stress, support wellbeing and create environments where different minds can thrive.
By introducing strategic green infrastructure, such as acoustic moss panels, living walls and structural plant zoning, our passionate designers create natural boundaries that soften harsh lighting and reduce ambient noise.
We believe in helping clients understand the positive impact of workplace biophilia. Neuroplaces offers the perfect opportunity to amplify this message to a broader audience while collaborating with and learning from fellow neurodiversity specialists.
