The volunteer Group Leader for the family activity club will help support fun inclusive craft and play sessions for autistic children, their siblings and parents. There is a sensory equipment and a quiet area available. This is also an opportunity for parents to meet and offer each other peer support. Without these roles, we would not have as many branches as we do.

- Any expenses incurred will be reimbursed by the branch.
When and where
- The first and third Saturday of the month from 10 am to 11.30 am
