Peer Support Groups for Autistic Adults
We have in-person and online groups across Kent and Medway.
We support our members to gain confidence, meet others, join in social events and foster a sense of autistic identity.
Who we work with:
- Adults (over 18)
- Living in Kent or Medway
- Have an official diagnosis of autism
- Are independent in the community (i.e. have no additional care or support needs)
What we do:
• Monthly peer support groups across Canterbury, Gravesend, Swanley, Dartford, Rochester, Hythe, Sittingbourne/Sheppey, Faversham, Whitstable, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate, Ashford, Dover, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone. We are currently starting new groups in Medway.
• Regular, supported social events and days out across the area. These include art workshops, walks, meeting up for meals, visiting attractions, etc.
• 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.”
