about true you
Built by people who’ve lived close to it.
True You Together CIC is a UK community-interest company offering support, guidance and education for neurodivergent people, parents and communities. Asset-locked, not-for-profit, and registered in England and Wales.
Why we exist.
True You Together CIC grew from both professional experience and personal understanding. Our founder, John Holsey, has spent over 27 years supporting people through some of the hardest periods of their lives, and brings his own lived experience of neurodivergence to this work.
We’ve seen what happens when difference is met with misunderstanding rather than understanding, and what becomes possible when people feel safe, accepted and believed in. True You Together isn’t here to fix anyone. It’s here to listen, to signpost, to teach, and to make difference visible. Calmly. Without jargon.
Being different should never mean being less.
What we believe.
- Difference is not a deficit. We don’t use words like disorder, suffer, or fix. We talk about strengths, traits, support and being seen.
- Lived, not polished. Real people, real stories, real photos, plain language. No stock photography of “diverse smiling team”.
- Plain and immediate. If a sentence wouldn’t make sense to a parent over a cup of tea, we rewrite it.
- Safe by design. Crisis signposting lives on every page. Privacy and safeguarding are non-negotiable, not afterthoughts.
- Free to find. Free to ask. Cost is never a barrier to a first conversation.
The people.
John Holsey is the founder of True You Together CIC. He’s a trained Mental Health Ally, qualified hypnotherapist and trained programme deliverer, and holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Probation Studies. His work developing rehabilitative and neuro-inclusive approaches has received both local and national recognition within the criminal justice system, including Royal recognition through a Butlers Trust award.
How we’re structured.
True You Together CIC is an asset-locked Community Interest Company registered in England and Wales. That means:
- Any surplus we generate is reinvested into the cause, not paid out to owners or shareholders.
- Our assets are legally locked to a community purpose, so if the CIC ever closes, they pass to another community organisation.
- We file annual community-interest reports that anyone can read at Companies House.
- We follow safeguarding policies appropriate to working with vulnerable adults and families.
