All Together Autistic
Launching 16th February 2026
We are excited to announce that the All Together Autistic project will re-launch on Monday 16th February!
The All Together Autistic project provides in-person and online groups for autistic adults across Kent and Medway. The groups are designed to be welcoming spaces where people can meet, share experiences and come together in a comfortable, supportive environment. The project is guided by the members and the ideas they have and we support social events like walks, meals and travelling to events.
We welcome new referrals from autistic adults (over 18) who live in Kent or Medway and do not have a diagnosed learning disability.
Peer Support Groups for Independent Autistic Adults
We have in-person and online groups across the whole of Kent and Medway.
These are run by our Peer Supporters (those with lived experience) and Advocates.
We support our members to gain confidence, meet others, join in social events, and foster a sense of autistic identity/community.
Who we work with:
- Adults (over 18)
- Living in Kent or Medway
- Have a formal diagnosis of autism/Asperger’s OR are currently on the waiting list for an assessment
- Are able to access support in the community under their own initiative (i.e. do not need direct and individual support from a carer, family member, or friend to access activities)
We are commissioned specifically to work with the segment of the autistic population who are independent in the community, using a self advocacy model of support.
There are other services locally which are able to meet additional care and support needs for those who require this type of activity.
What we do:
• Monthly in-person peer support groups across each of the 14 boroughs of Kent and Medway.
• Online (Zoom) special interest groups on a range of topics.
• Sign-posting – providing information and guidance about useful local services.
• Special, one-off events, including consulting with the local council and others about issues related to the autism spectrum, putting on art exhibitions and raising local awareness about autism.
“Before I joined the groups I was extremely isolated, it has been an absolute lifeline for me. It feels like my world has really opened up.”
“As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. Being part of this small community has helped me be confident in who I am.”
