Junior Social Group – 7-12 years

Connect’s Junior Social Group is open to families in the St.Helens area, whose children have diverse needs which makes socialising difficult, e.g. Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Parent/Carers stay with their children to support them. There is no cost for the activities which are designed together with children. These can include board games, arts & crafts, outdoor activities. The group is supported by Connect’s Toy and Leisure Library with loans to children.
The group runs on alternate Wednesdays 6.00 pm– 8.00pm starting on 4 August 2021.
