Autism East Midlands Family Support Hubs - Kirkby-in-Ashfield

Overview

4.30pm-6.30pm, fourth Monday of the month

The hubs provide a regular meeting point for families affected by autism, where they can access activities for children as well as gain support, specialist training and advice.

The aim of the hub is to offer support and a safe space for families who have children on the Autistic Spectrum. These are drop in sessions for the whole family to enjoy, aimed at children 11 and under. Children (including siblings) can participate at their own pace with support from parents and our staff team. Families can engage in activities or sit back and enjoy some refreshments, whilst talking to other families and sharing experiences or speaking with staff for advice and support.

No autism diagnosis is necessary to attend the hubs.
