The main aim is to provide welcoming and happy spaces to play, unmask, and for young people to be themselves.
The popularity of playschemes means there is a waiting list and the sessions above are fully booked. You can get on touch with Resources for Autism West Midlands office for information about future playschemes. If you would like help to develop new local and volunteer provision for autistic children and young people, please get in touch with Laura at Children’s Quarter.
