What we do Supported travel and social events for young adults on the autism spectrum or with hidden disabilities. Many young people on the autism spectrum or with hidden disabilities struggle to fit in to the world. They find it hard to make friends, or to build independence apart from family.

While some just need a bit of support, and watch others enjoying this world without being able to access it themselves. Being excluded or struggling to find your people can cause loneliness, anxiety and other challenges. Then add the complexity of travelling and planning...
