We encourage everyone who lives at Stonepit Close to live life to the full, while learning new skills and becoming more independent. Each person therefore takes part in a wide range of activities, from learning domestic tasks to attending college, and with plenty of time for fun. Every person’s programme is different so that they can set their own goals and do the activities they really enjoy and benefit from. Below is a list of some of our activities.
Several times a year everyone who lives at Stonepit Close gets together with the other people from our Surrey services: we create our own pantomime, run a sports day and hold parties in the summer and at Christmas, as well as many other gatherings and special days.

We have autism expertise and knowledge, offer person-centred care, and help people understand their diagnosis.

Placement suitability
The criteria for a referral to this service would be someone over 18 years old with a diagnosis of autism. Funding from a local authority or health trust would need to be in place.
In England the regulatory body CQC is ensuring support providers are providing local services for local people. Therefore when we receive a referral from outside of the local authority area where our service is, we need to demonstrate we have taken steps to explore meaningful family links or connections to the area. We would also need a clear rationale from the funder as to why they are seeking an out of county placement. Therefore not all referrals may be considered for each NAS service.
