East Renfrewshire branch
We are the first 'autism specific' support service in East Renfrewshire. The branch is ran by a committee of autistic/neurodivergent volunteers and parents/carers of autistic individuals, who are fully trained. The branch offers autistic-led information and support sessions and workshops. We also offer online and in-person advice, signposting, peer groups and meet-ups.

Our branch is run by local volunteers and receives no core funding.
Any donation to help us continue to run our sessions would be gratefully received.
