The Neurodivergent Social Group is for adolescents between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. This group is appropriate for females or those who identify as transgender or non-binary.

​This group aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for adolescents to engage in enjoyable activities whilst building meaningful connections with other individuals.

We are looking to run the group for older primary school-aged children (9-12 years old) in the future.
