Quick amendment to yesterday’s dates. The building has asked we do not run on the 30th. Sorry for that false alarm, it was a surprise double booking.

We’ve decided to just push back the dates, so week 1 will be September 6th instead. We did consider moving forward the dates but didn’t want to create a 2 week gap early in the block. Hope that’s understandable.

We would like some feedback on what to do with week 6, as it’ll be within the schools October break and we do not typically run during school breaks. We’ve planned out six weeks of activities, so we’d like to hear from you if it’s ok to go ahead.

All other information is still true. Thank you for your understanding, and sorry again for the false alarm.

Hallo all!
We have the dates for our first block back. (EDIT: The dates have had to change since post was made. We’re running from the 6th of September through to the 11th of October. Sorry for the false alarm.)

If you’ve never attended before, FAB is an autistic friendly youth group that runs from 1-3pm every Sunday. We’re based in Enable Falkirk: (Elgin Pl, Oswald St, Falkirk FK1 1QN, UK) and we run on a drop-in system so no sign-ups required and no commitment to attend every session. (Heath and safety information will be required)

Money wise a session is £2 per child to cover activities, snacks and rent and we offer hot drinks for an extra £1 donation. If you’ve never been with us before you’re first session will be free.

This block we have smoothy making, comic book art, boardgames, and maybe a child friendly RPG session lined up for activities.

One final thing. We’re looking for adults willing to volunteer with us as committee members. We lost one over the summer and another wants to step away by Christmas. So if that sounds interesting to you or you want an excuse to get your food safety/ first aid training please contact us because we want to hear from you!

We cannot wait to see you all here!

‼️INFORMATION ABOUT TODAYS SESSION‼️

Morning FABbers!

We hope your all having a great weekend so far!

It’s due to be a bit wet this morning but should be clear for our outdoor session at Callender Park this afternoon 😁👍🏻

We are still planning to meet for some paper plane making and hopefully some play park time, and we are asking people coming along today to bring an old towel with them in case the park is a bit wet

Also, as it’s an outdoor session and FAB won’t be able to provide our usual refreshments, today’s session will be FREE OF CHARGE 🥳🥳

This is our last scheduled session for this term so we’d love to see you! Come along and let us know what your up to this summer and what sort of activities or themes you’d like to see for next term 😁

Looking forward to seeing you shortly! 😁

Hallo everybody,
This Sunday we’re running a movie day and need your help deciding on what movies to watch. We have six options shown here. Please comment with the one you’d like us to prioritise on the day.

This is the first of three activities from our new suggestion box. We will be taking from the suggestion box over the next few sessions so thank you all who wrote in.

FAB is running this Sunday 1-3pm at Elgin Pl, Oswald St, Falkirk FK1 1QN, UK. Remember your first session is completely free.

Hello all!
Thank you all, last Sunday was an incredible day! So many new faces, the sun was shining it’s incredible to see. This Sunday we’re running from 1-3pm at Elgin Pl, Oswald St, Falkirk FK1 1QN, UK.

Remember if you’ve never attended FAB before this week is free for you. So if you’re on the fence there’s nothing stopping you from coming round and trying it out.

Until then

A huge thank you to The Canal Inn Official and the quiz team that nominated Falkirk Autistic Bairns to receive a donation of £500! Our chair Norelle went down to collect it yesterday and spoke a little about FAB and all the great work we do!

It’s wonderful to be supported by our community, massive thanks to you all!

Come along and give FAB a try 😁

First session free at Falkirk Autistic Bairns club

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
Hallo everyone, we have an exciting update to share from the committee team. First sessions are now FREE. Those who have no previous FAB experience will get there first session for free.

We’re implementing this new system for those who are wondering if FABs right for their child. We know right now it’s scary to commit to a financial charge for something you don’t know will fit your child’s needs. This way you can see how your child feels at FAB without pressure to commit to something weekly.

Note: we will still require you to sign the membership form on your first day. Even if FAB’s not for you we need to know contact info, health requirements, etc.
Hot drinks will also still cost £1 for adults.

This system will stay for the rest of the block so if you’re on the fence about popping round, now’s the perfect opportunity. We’ll be running again this Sunday 1-3pm at Elgin Pl, Oswald St, Falkirk FK1 1QN, UK. See you there, and
