Youth Club for autistic young people
The NAS Surrey Service also runs a youth club in Godalming for autistic young people with a wide variety of fun activities in a safe, structured and autism-friendly environment.
Everyone gets time to meet new friends, learn and play. The club aims to help children and young people to grow and develop their communication and social skills, become more independent, develop their confidence and boost self-esteem.
The club meets on Tuesdays during term-time from 7.00 – 9.00 pm, and is open to any autistic young person aged 11 – 18 who lives in Surrey. To apply for a place for their young person, parents must complete a self-referral form available from Surrey.familysupport@nas.org.uk or Tel: 01483 521 743.
Cost: £5 per session (£2.50 for families on income support or for second siblings).
