Social Club for Young Adults

Meets fortnightly on Mondays from 7.00pm - 9.00pm

A social club has been set up for young adults (18 years and over) who have Asperger’s or similar communication difficulties.

You are invited to come along and share experiences with other people who are keen to make new friends.There will be opportunities to sit back and chat amongst friendly people, and have a drink or a bite to eat. There will also be organised activities and events.

There will be a facilitator at the meetings to help everyone get along and organise what people want to do. Please bring some ID with your address on it.

We participate in a varied range of activities, such as:

  • Guest speakers
  • Movies
  • Ten pin bowling
  • Games nights
  • Barbecues
