The local branch produces a regular newsletter, holds two support meetings each month and organises regular activities for children and families.

The meetings are very informal, offering support to parents/carers of children and adults with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder and providing an opportunity to discuss difficulties and share information. We also have a variety of books and information sheets available to borrow.

We also invite guest speakers who can offer information and advice on services and activities that may be of interest to your family.

All meetings are held at Furness Family Centre, Dallington House, Abbey Road (corner of Jesmond Avenue, opposite The Gables), Barrow
