Just like our usual social groups, the new Thursday groups are facilitated by unpaid volunteers and offer a place for autistic people to connect and talk about whatever they wish – from film and TV, to cooking, gaming, art, LEGO and other interests. The first of these sessions will be on Thursday 16th January and will be once a month.
Free to join, the groups are open to autistic people and families wherever you are in Cheshire – North Staffordshire. There will be groups representing different geographical areas, young people, parents, girls and women, as well as particular interest groups such as ‘Film’ and ‘Quiz’ clubs.
Volunteers aim to make the sessions fun and informing, as well as fun activities. The groups can arrange guests from a variety of organisations to engage in fun activities and workshops.

Interest Groups?
Interest Groups have been created but not yet started and dates will be published when there is enough interest shown. So you can explore a shared special interests with others. Fees vary for interest groups, but financial assistance is available through discounted options on the registration pages.
