Thank you to Jumbo's Family Restaurant who are one of our Autism Friendly Champions 🙌

It makes a huge difference to autistic people & their families to know of places they can eat out & staff will be on hand to support any accommodations that are needed.

“Listowel a community where everybody belongs”

Don't forget you can ask our team for the sensory tool kit during your visit, courtesy of Listowel Autism Friendly Town 😃 It's full of wonderful toys and contains sunglasses and ear defenders for any customers who may need them 🧩

Many of our staff have also completed their Champions Training and are happy to assist when needed!

The new sensory tool kits are kindly sponsored by Garvey's SuperValu Listowel Listowel Credit Union and Listowel Business and Community Alliance 👏🏻
