A2ndVoice are an autism voluntary group based in South West London. The ultimate aim is to provide a safe place for parents and carers with autistic children and adults. It offers family support and holiday activities at Tooting Leisure Centre and Cassandra Learning Centre based in Norbury. We have been innovative in addressing topics that have not been addressed through mainstream services working in partnership with local and national organisations. Our workshops and events focus on the issues around the following: day to day lifestyles; living and caring for someone with autism; parenting autistic teens through puberty; autistic teenagers and young people getting caught up in street crime; aims of raising awareness amongst the criminal justice system and probation services; adult survivors to childhood sexual abuse; keeping autistic people safe in adult relationships; and raising the voice of the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Autistic (BAME) community. The service also offers Family Stay & Play Fun Days at Tooting Leisure Centre.
