What to expect
Our social clubs make it easy to form friendships, connect over common interests and experiences, and have fun while gradually building confidence to support each other. We offer groups focused on shared experiences and interests, including general, teen girl, and Year 7 groups. Join fun weekly meet-ups led by experienced neurodivergent facilitators.

How meet-ups work
Club sessions are run on Zoom. Everyone is welcome to attend with cameras off or on. To use the chat, to talk. To move, stim, fidget and tic. And everyone is welcome change how they interact at any time. We open session by asking how people are, so we can gauge everyone's energy levels. We then do some quizzes to get the chat going, before deep diving into a topic. Sometimes we also play mini-games in sessions! Sessions vary a lot, based on the requests of group members. Sessions are led by 1-2 facilitators all of whom are neurodivergent. Interest-based groups are run by facilitators who have extreme passions in group subjects!!
What you'll need
An ability to join a zoom call. We also use a free digital tool called Slido and it can be helpful to watch the session on one device eg a phone or tablet and use a second device to do the in-session polls etc in Slido.

What families say
"M gives this a 5! She says it was โspoonyโ (as in spoon theory- gives her spoons) she says it was really fun and did not use her โsocial batteryโ. She enjoyed talking about her special interests and hearing about other peopleโs."

"L found the social club session fun. I was really glad that he felt able to interact in the polls and answer some questions. He also really liked reading the answers of the other members. It was really helpful hearing about the leaders own experiences with socialising and making friends and how they felt about school."
