Clubs
All our Clubs will be as follows:
These clubs will enable the young people to develop new hobbies and to socialise, which is often very difficult for those on the autistic spectrum.
All clubs will be after school and some on the weekends.
Gardening
Learning about how to grow fruits and vegetables.
Gardening is a great way to educate young autistic people about where some of our foods come from, which foods grows out from plants. Growing your own fruit and vegetables is very rewarding and a sense of therapy, seeing something so beautiful and delicious develop from a bulb or a few sprinkles of seeds is amazing and something great to learn. Our aim is to help young autistic people to develop a sense of pride in whatever they achieve in this fun and rewarding club. The best part is being able to eat and enjoy their achievements!
Photography
Learning the art of Picture Taking.
Allowing autistic people to express themselves through photography is giving them the sense of being. The sense of being a part of life, a part of the world they live in. Capturing the beauty of their surroundings and seeing all their works allows them to feel a sense of worth, a sense of belonging, the most beautiful gift for a community often trapped in their own minds and in their isolation from the world outside.
