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 the soft play or sit back and enjoy some refreshments, whilst talking to other families and sharing experiences or speaking with staff for advice and support.

50% of the children’s soft play entry ticket will be paid by AEM.

No need to book a place – just turn up – but feel free to contact me if you have any questions - Dawn.Vamplew@aem.org.uk
