"Do you identify as Autistic, are you 18+, and do you live/work/attend education in the Scottish Borders?

Do you like excellent soup, amazing conversation, and an environment where everyone is just like you?

Then, boy howdy, do we have something for you!

AVATAR Borders, in collaboration with Cafe U, and funded by Scottish Borders Local Action Group, are running a series of 'Autistic Culture Cafes' in Kelso (6-8pm on the first Thursday of the month) that allows you to meet with your peers, discuss your issues, and relax with some board games and good soup.

If this sounds like it's for you, check the link in our bio for our Eventbrite, Membership Form, and socials today and let us know you're coming. We can't wait to meet you!

That's the First Thursday of Every Month from 6pm to 8pm at Cafe U in Kelso.

(If Kelso is too far away for you, drop us a comment, and let us know where you'd like to see us next

On the last day of Disability Pride month, AVATAR is returning; from what seems like the grave; to announce that we have successfully received funding to run a series of Autistic Culture Cafes in the Scottish Borders!
(Mostly Kelso for now, but the better they do the more places we can go 🤞)

A lot of the recent radio silence has been do to the fact that our wonderful Board has been working tirelessly in the background, with the support of the amazing Scottish Borders Local Action Group, to build something that we as a community can be proud of.

So if you're Autistic, over the age of 18, AND live, work, or attend education in the Scottish borders and are free from 6-8pm on the 1st Thursday of every month then please swing on by for a relaxed and friendly opportunity to meet other like minded Autistic people in the area!

Shout out to Cafe Polari for the inspiration and a big thank you to Cafe U (for letting us host in their incredible cafe) and Scottish Borders Local Action Group for the funding!

To book your space and let us know your coming, click the link below and share it with your Autistic friends:
