Please note, our current activities have been designed to support those who are suspected or diagnosed as being autistic who may also have other neurodiverse conditions. In the future we hope to expand our activities to support those with other neurodiverse conditions too e.g. ADHD. 

In person on site sessions and programmes are currently based in venues in Surrey and can be booked by families living in or close to Surrey. Online groups and activities can be accessed by those who live both within and nearby Surrey (although Surrey families may be prioritised in some sessions due to funding restrictions).
