Venessa Swaby – finalist at the Neurodiverse Business Awards!
Congratulations and good luck to Tooting resident Dr Venessa Swaby, who’s a finalist for the inaugural Neurodiverse Business Awards!
The awards mark a major milestone in a new national programme dedicated to showcasing neurodiverse talent and the organisations championing neuroinclusive cultures across the UK workforce.
Venessa, shortlisted for Advocate of the Year, is Founder of A2ndVoice CIC, which has been instrumental in amplifying lived experience, strengthening community-led advocacy and supporting autistic and neurodivergent individuals and families to access inclusive services, opportunities and meaningful participation.
Venessa said: “It is brilliant to be recognised for the services A2ndVoice has provided. However, without the support of our community partners and supporters, we simply could not do the great work we offer. This recognition reflects what is possible when communities work together to ensure autistic voices are heard, valued and respected.”
The winners will be revealed on 18 March 2026 at the Neurodiverse Business Awards Gala Celebration, taking place in the Grand Hall of the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, and hosted by ITV News anchor Nina Hossain.
