The Richmond Fellowship Scotland supports over 130 people across Scotland on the autism spectrum. We have a dedicated Autism Spectrum Project Manager Sarah Thompson, who leads the development of our services alongside our managers across Scotland. We know that each person has varying needs and abilities and requires structured, consistent support.

We make sure that our support changes, as individual needs change. We communicate with each person in a way that they will understand, using communication methods, and aids that work for them. We give the right support so that each person can continue their transition through life, education and employment, building positively on current and new relationships.

The Richmond Fellowship Scotland offers many different models of support. Some of our services are designed in a core and cluster model, others are care homes. These services offer a blend of individual and shared living spaces. We provide flexible supported living services to people who live in their own homes, and accessible drop in centres. Each service supports individuals to progress in their development, and where possible move on to more independent living. To find out more information about the services in the Renfrewshire area.
