Being Us Derby - 9th October 2026
Autumn wreaths
We had such a great time making these autumn wreaths. We had lots of decorative bits to choose from and we enjoyed using the glue gun to fix parts in place.
For our discussion, we talked about friendships and the qualities of a good friend. There was a lot to think about so I'm sure we'll revisit this topic again.

Being Us Belper - 30th September 2026
Autumn bunting/decorations
Our Belper group used various materials to create their autumn decorations. Everyone's were different which is one of the great things about Being Us - we can all be ourselves!
We talked about the seasonal changes - some negatives, but lots of positives too such as looking forward to celebrations and new tv series' like The Celebrity Traitors.

Being Us Together Hilton - 29th Sept and 6th October 2026
Table top gaming with 'Roll with Us CIC'
Katie from Roll with Us CIC was our 'Games Master' leading a one-shot game of Kids on Bikes. She talked us through how to play, we used different kinds of dice and role-played our way through exciting story lines. The boys' story was about investigating a crash landed UFO, the girls' group explored a spooky haunted house.

Being Us Derby - 25th September 2026
Autumn themed banners!
We have a lovely cosy evening on Friday making autumn themed banners. First we drew our designs using paint pens, then we used acrylic paint and brushes to 'colour in'. Some of us painted wooden leaves and used these plus yarn, beads or buttons to decorate the hanging stick.
For our discussion we talked about how shorter and darker days affect us - some of us were glad that summer was over though! We shared ideas for self-care in Autumn/Winter months

Being Us Together Hilton - 22nd September 2026
Autumn bunting!
The last couple of weeks at Being Us Together, have been game nights and we had so much fun that I forgot to take any pictures!
Last night, the girls group had a very busy session cutting, painting, constructing and decorating their autumn themed bunting.
Working in pairs with their adult, the girls designed and painted their felt pieces. I love how autumn means so many different things to all of us - halloween, nature, cosy nights...🍁🍂🍄

Being Us Belper - 16th September 2026
The first session in our new Belper venue!
It was lovely to meet the young people and our volunteer, Vivia, a 2nd year student at University of Derby. We got to know each other a little and familiarised with our new location.
We also looked at Yayoi Kusama's art work to create our own mushrooms! The art work created was brilliant and it was lovely to find out more about our group's interests.
We do have a few spaces for autistic girls age 11-17 at this group, contact [email protected] if you'd like to find out more and apply.

Being Us Derby - 12th September 2026
Yayoi Kusama inspired mushrooms!
It was great to see lots of you back at Being Us last Friday. We had a lively spotty, dotty session painting and drawing.
We said 'goodbye' to our volunteer Saranna, who's been with us since the start of 2026. She has now finished her law degree at University of Derby, and has started her Masters in Law! We are very proud of what she's achieved and wish her the very best of luck with her future studies.

For our final Being Us session at Derby before the summer break, the group had asked to do more painting on canvases.

Look at their fantastic artwork! Each work is so uniquely them, can you spot their special interests?

Have a wonderful summer and I’ll look forward to seeing you all in September! 😊

Ripley Squad finished the term with a session making fabric paints to use for designing and decorating tote bags. The room was full of creativity, humour and crisps, and we had a lovely evening together.
