Staffordshire Adults Autistic Society

Autism can sometimes make socialising and finding a sense of belonging difficult. Every autistic person deserves a place where they can be themselves, feel understood and connect with others without judgement.

SAAS is working to create a welcoming space in Hanley where autistic adults can make friends, learn new skills and feel accepted.

We need your help to make it happen! Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to opening our doors.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

For many autistic adults, being understood, accepted and finding somewhere to belong can make a real difference to mental wellbeing.

At Staffordshire Adults Autistic Society, we want to create a space where autistic adults can connect, feel accepted and be themselves without judgement. But we need your help to make it happen.

Could you help us make a difference? Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to opening our new community support and enterprise hub.

If you cannot donate, please share this post or tell us in the comments what you think makes a place feel welcoming and safe.

Together, we can help build a community where nobody has to face the world alone.

🎉 WE’RE LAUNCHING OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN! 🎉

Help us build a place where autistic people belong.

We are excited to launch our fundraising campaign to help bring our new Social, Support & Enterprise Space in Hanley to life! 🏡✨

We’re creating a welcoming, autistic-led space where people can connect, make friends, develop new skills and feel accepted for who they are — without judgement.

Our vision includes:
A retail space to showcase and sell goods, including handmade items.
A social lounge where people can relax, meet others and build friendships.
A workshop and activity space for creative projects, training and learning new skills.
Support, awareness and education to help build a more understanding and inclusive community.

🎯 Our initial fundraising target is £5,000!

As a charity, we rely on the generosity of our community to make projects like this possible. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us create a space where autistic people can feel safe, valued and connected.

Can you help us make this happen?

Because everyone deserves a place where they belong.

Plans are progressing and something is happening very soon! 👀

We’re not quite ready to reveal everything just yet, but we can say that our plans for a Social, Enterprise & Support Space in Stoke-on-Trent are moving forward.

Now we want to get the community involved. This is something we want to build with the community, not simply for it.

We’re currently looking for people and organisations who may be able to help in a variety of ways:

🤝 Volunteers – We’ll have a range of roles available including retail, fundraising, administration, social groups, events and more.

🪑 Furniture & equipment – We’re looking for tables, chairs, display equipment and other useful items.

🛠️ Materials – We’re looking for materials and practical items that could help us create and build our own display stands and other features.

🚐 Van and a man – If you have access to a van and are willing to help us move furniture, equipment or donations, we’d love to hear from you!

👕 Clothing donations – We will also be looking for clothing donations in the future, but we are not ready to accept these just yet. We’ll let you know when we are ready.

And if you have another way you think you could help, we want to hear from you!

Whether you can give your time, donate equipment, provide practical skills, help with transport or simply want to get involved, please complete our short interest form:

Your response will help us understand what support is available and how we can make this project work.

Something exciting is being explored in Stoke-on-Trent!

We are looking at setting up a Social, Enterprise & Support Space in Stoke-on-Trent — a welcoming, autistic-led space where people can connect, take part in activities, develop skills, explore enterprise opportunities and access support.

Before we take things any further, we want to hear from you.

Would you be interested in supporting the project, volunteering, getting involved with activities or helping us make the space a success?

If you are interested, please take a few minutes to complete our short form. Your feedback will help us understand the level of interest and shape what the space could become.
