With the permanent venue we are developing a range of sessions to cater for the ever growing needs of local families. Our Friday drop in sessions has developed into a term time weekly adult support sessions for parents and carers. We continue to offer a safe place for parents and carers to chat with other likewise people in a non-judgemental environment. The term time weekly preschool sessions enables parents/ carers to attend with their children, however likewise for all sessions going forward we do require people to book into sessions if child based so we can limit numbers. Other regular sessions include Dad's Club, Girl's Club, Youth Club, Home Ed Sessions, After School Club and Evening Parent/ Carer Creative sessions. These will be slowly introduced after the lockdown due to covid 19, these may take time to reach full potential as these need to be developed and maintained to a certain level before we can proceed to the next step. We are currently working as a small charity raising funds to provide activity sessions for the families we support during the school holidays and at festive periods. The group was originally set up by Helen Smith-Vicary, ASD Specialist Portage Home Visitor and Kim Drake who's son Alfie was diagnosed with autism back in 2011 when he was just 3 years old. Little Heroes ASD Support Group began as a coffee morning at a local children's centre early October 2012. Alternatively check out the website www.littleheroesasd.co.uk or email [email protected].

💙 WEDNESDAY = STAY & PLAY! 🌈

Come on… you know you’ve been thinking about it! 👀😂

Our Wednesday Stay & Play session at Little Heroes ASD Support Group is the perfect chance to get the kids out, come and have some fun, and spend a bit of time with people who just get it. 💙

Whether you’re a regular, a familiar face we haven’t seen for a while, or you’ve never been through our doors before — we’d LOVE to see you!

Come and let the little ones play, explore, have fun and be themselves, while you grab a cuppa ☕, have a chat 💬 and meet other families.

And if you’ve been saying:

“We really should come along…”
“I’ll book it next week…”
“We haven’t been for ages…”

👀 THIS IS YOUR SIGN!

Get your bum through the door! 😂💙

You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to have been before.
You don’t need a reason other than wanting somewhere welcoming to spend time with your little one.

📌 BOOKING INFORMATION

👧 For children aged 5 and under
🎟️ Booking is essential via our booking system

Because sometimes the best part of the week is simply having somewhere to go, people to talk to and a community that understands. 💙

Come for the play. Stay for the community. Leave knowing you’re not doing this alone. 🫶

We’ll see you Wednesday! 💙💛
