Download the 2024/25 Autism Cafe Booklet

These events are in partnership with statutory services and community and voluntary organisations who can support families on their autism journey.

Our aim is to bring together adults, parents, carers and organisations, to provide support and information on services available. We are hoping that those who attend will help us shape our plans for future events across the WHSCT, provide feedback, ideas and suggestions. This input will be extremely valuable in the co-design of our future Café’s.

  •  Tea & Coffee provided
  • Booking is not required. 

Any further questions or if your organisation would like to host a stall please email ClaireA.Hamilton@westerntrust.hscni.net
