We want to make sure that every child who struggles with social communication gets an opportunity to socialise and make friends and have fun in a safe, professionally run youth club setting. The clubs are only part of our offer, you can find out more about us from our website link.

Our trained staff are always on hand to help parents/carers with guidance and strategies to support themselves and their children.
