An inclusive monthly Teen Club for young people aged 12 to 18 years who are neurodiverse or have additional needs (such as autism, dyslexia, anxiety, OCD, ADHD or learning difficulties). No diagnosis is required and siblings can attend if we have spaces – just ask us.
The ratio for this club is 1 adult to 8 teens. We are unable to provide one to one support.
Our main aim is to encourage socialising, making friends and getting out of the house for a while!
We hang out in a very relaxed space and it’s important to us that every teen feels comfortable. Therefore, the young people choose how to spend their time and can participate in a variety games, use the pool table, football table or air hockey table, sit and chat together or simply enjoy some quiet time.
Staff are experienced working with young people with additional needs and the environment is supportive and inclusive.
We provide a small snack & bottle of water at each session.
Parents do not stay in the sessions so it is vital that all attendees complete a sign up form and attend a sign up meeting before being allocated a space.
To apply for a space, please complete this sign up form:
The sign up meeting is essential as it allows your young person the opportunity to ask us questions, meet our staff and begin to feel comfortable with us. We will also talk to you as the parent/carer to assess whether we are able to meet your teens needs.
The cost of sessions are £4.00 per child per session, payable half-termly via BACS.
Upcoming sessions
Sessions run once a month after school for 1.5 hours.
(This is a NEW club starting in Newbury, so we will be confirming the day and times shortly).
