18 Sep
Summary
- Rapper Giggs co-founded a school for neurodivergent children in Kent.
- The center addresses a personal need due to his autistic children's struggles.
- The initiative aims to help neurodivergent kids realize their potential.
London rapper Giggs has launched St James House, a secondary school and assessment center for neurodivergent children in Gravesend, Kent. This initiative, co-founded with the OMG Foundation, was born from Giggs's personal battles to secure diagnoses and support for his own autistic children.
He describes the systemic failures he encountered, motivating him to create a better environment. The center, which will cater to 75 pupils, aims to provide crucial assessments and education for children with special educational needs and disabilities, including those with autism and ADHD.
With celebrity endorsements and significant fundraising efforts, St James House is set to open its school component in January. Giggs envisions the center as a place where neurodivergent children can identify and harness their unique talents, akin to Professor X guiding the X-Men.
