Autism East Midlands – ‘Family Hub’

Autism East Midlands run an Autism Family Support Hub for children aged under 12 to attend with their families. Children are welcome with or without an autism diagnosis. The hubs are really relaxed and non-judgemental, with a variety of toys, which largely stays the same session to session, and then different activities each time. There’s no pressure to take part in anything, or to make anything, or to play in a particular way. Parents/carers can chat to other parents or to staff if they have questions about autism. It’s a free drop in session, no need to turn up at the start or stay to the end, and siblings are welcome.

The hub is located in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, and usually runs on the first Monday of the month from 4-6.30pm.
