“We are delighted to present this report to the Trustees of The Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation on Dawnosaurs, our free programme for neurodivergent children and their families, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
“In the past year, the Natural History Museum opened a brand-new gallery, Fixing Our Broken Planet, and have welcomed over five million visitors to our gardens. We are determined to provide the best possible experience for our whole audience, including those who live with conditions like autism, ADHD, Tourette’s, OCDand other sensory processing challenges that make it difficult to access the Museum in regular opening hours. Through Dawnosaurs, we open the Museum early for a small audience of neurodivergent children and their families to explore, visit our temporary exhibitions, and engage in fun activities tailored to their access needs.
“The support of The Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation has allowed us to do this for ten amazing years, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your dedicated support of the programme.
“We hope you enjoy reading about the success of Dawnosaurs over the past year, including feedback we have received from grateful parents and carers.”
