Where do we meet?

Our Gainsborough Family Support Hub is held monthly at Gainsborough Adventure Playground Ltd, Riseholme Road, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, DN21 1NL.

About the Hub

The aim of the hub is to offer support and a safe space for families who have children on the autistic spectrum. These are drop in sessions for the whole 
family to enjoy, aimed at children under 11 years of age. Children (including siblings) can participate at their own pace with support from parents and our 
staff team. Families can engage in activities or sit back and enjoy some refreshments, whilst talking to other families and sharing experiences or 
speaking with staff for advice and support.

No need to book a place – just turn up – but feel free to contact the Family Support Hub Coordinator if you have any questions.
