Funding & Referrals
A few gentle words about how some families have funded a Squiggle Box subscription — and how we can help if you're exploring that route.
Funding is never guaranteed, and every decision is made individually. But where it helps, we're glad to share information about the therapeutic arts approach behind the box.
Routes Families Have Used
These are simply examples shared by our community — not a promise of what will be approved for any individual.
EOTAS packages
Some families whose young person receives Education Otherwise Than At School have included a Squiggle Box subscription as part of a wider, personalised package of provision.
Personal budgets & direct payments
Others have used personal funding arrangements or direct payments to cover a subscription as a gentle, creative form of support.
Family or community support
And many simply gift a subscription between family members or supporters, a low-pressure way to say “this is for you”.
Please Read This First
Funding decisions are made individually by the relevant body and cannot be guaranteed. We can't advise on whether a particular application will be approved, and a Squiggle Box subscription should never be assumed to be funded until you have confirmation in writing from your funding source.
We're Happy to Help With Your Application
If it would support a funding application, we can provide a written outline of the therapeutic arts approach behind The Squiggle Box, what a subscription includes, and who it is designed for.
Just get in touch and let us know what would be most useful for you, your family, or the professional supporting you.

Honest answers to the things families and professionals ask us most.
Sometimes, yes. Some families have successfully used EOTAS or other personal funding arrangements to purchase a subscription. Every situation is different, and funding decisions are always made individually by the relevant body, so we can never guarantee an outcome.
part of something gentle
The Squiggle Box lives inside The Squiggle Society
The Squiggle Society is the wider philosophy and community: a place that believes neurodivergent people deserve gentleness, creativity and support, without pressure or perfection.
The Squiggle Box is the monthly therapeutic arts experience that brings that philosophy to life, one gentle invitation through the letterbox at a time.
