While the weather might not have quite caught up, summer is just around the corner - and with it comes the return of the Umbrella Project.
Back for its third year, the ADHD Foundation's popular Umbrella Project returns this morning to Church Alley in the city centre .
The dazzling canopy, which features bright red, blue, green and yellow umbrellas, is part of an initiative to raise awareness, and to celebrate, ADHD, autism and neurodiversity.
Each of the umbrellas have been signed and decorated by neurodiverse children from across the city , who were asked to state their gifts, talents and abilities - their ‘super power’.
The project, which has been hugely popular since its launch in 2017, aims to flip the disabling perception of neurodiverse individuals on its head, and instead to celebrate the differences.
The idea for the Umbrella Project was born from the concept that ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia sit under the ‘umbrella’ term of neurodiversity.
Joe Anderson, Mayor of Liverpool, said: "Once again this inspiring initiative returns to the city - and we should all be very proud of how much this Liverpool-created project has grown in such a short space of time.
“The Umbrella Project continues to spark an international conversation, which is crucial to the public's understanding of neurodiversity.”
