Our Services
Youth Group: For young people aged 10-17 we have evening youth groups, which provide social opportunities for young people with lower-level support needs. The youth groups provide a safe and inclusive environment for autistic young people to access a variety of activities including games, social activities, arts and crafts, cooking, sports and community experiences, e.g., swimming, ice-skating, bowling, eating out and visiting parks and museums.
Stay & Play: is a Saturday morning activity group which the whole family can attend. The sessions provide a safe and inclusive environment for autistic children aged 3-12 years to access a variety of activities including soft play, arts & crafts, cooking, sensory and outdoor play. We also aim to provide parents/carers with a short break during the session whilst their child is supported by trained staff and volunteers.
