Thursday Empower Autism

Do you or someone you know have autism? Do you struggle to attend normal youth clubs or groups because they’re too loud or too busy? Why not try our Empower Autism group? Here at the Ark we love providing a space for teenagers to come and hang out with their friends, our Empower Autism group has been running for almost a year and it has proven to help build confidence in the young people who attend and has become a safe and quiet space for those who struggle with loud noise and too many people. What to expect when you come along? You will be greeted by a friendly staff member who will register you so that when you come again we know who you are. You can hang out with your friends or take some time to yourself by playing Xbox, sit down with our laptops, play pool or air hockey with your friends or staff, we also have table activities like Lego, board games or sensory objects. Half way through the session we offer free pizza and a drink. If this sounds like something you or someone you know might like to join then get in touch or come along this Thursday from 4-5pm.
