The aims and objectives of this service are to provide: • A weekly drop-in service 'Autism Hub' (Friday between 10.30 am - 2.00 pm) that is a safe environment focused on service users' needs. The hub shall be supported by 'experts by experience' volunteers that are generally recruited from the hub attendees. An aspiration shall be to achievement the 'Autism Friendly Kitemark' for the Hub but not exclusively.
