Following discussions with commissioners from the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB), we are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached for a continuation of the South East Autism Support (SEAS) Programme.
This will run up until March 2027, while the ICB are continuing to work with experts-by-experience and service providers to improve support for autistic adults living in Kent and Medway.
While we recruit and train new staff, we will not be able to offer our usual service.
