Voices for Autism host coffee mornings every month in a warm, relaxed environment. Families are invited to come along for two hours to enjoy some refreshments and conversations surrounding autism, or not.
Voices for Autism has been created to raise awareness of autism as well as create a community for parents/carers to feel a part of. Being an autism parent/carer can sometimes feel like a lonely place and we want you to know that you are not alone; autism affects approximately 70,000 people in the UK alone.
Voices for Autism is striving to create a haven where those affected by autism can come together to share advice, ideas, good news stories and so on. They want to echo the message that young people with autism are unique and they should be able to access the same services and opportunities as those without a disability or additional needs.
The organisation is a friendly bunch who have a mixture of skills, knowledge and experience. They are not medical professionals but walk and breathe autism on a daily basis.
Do pop along to one of their coffee mornings if you can. No booking required. Details are posted on their website www.voicesforautism.co.uk or alternatively you can drop them a line on info@voicesforautism.co.uk
Their next coffee morning is on Saturday 12th November at The Vaughn Room, Christ Church Southwark, 27 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8NY
