Family Support Hubs unveil Christmas programme

AEM's Family Support Hubs team have revealed their programme for the festive season with some of their usual December meetings replaced with activities from celebrations to a trip to a pantomime.

Like the regular support hubs, all the forthcoming activities are open to parents and carers along with children 11 years and under as well as siblings. The hubs provide the opportunity to gain support as well as meet and chat with others. An autism diagnosis isn't necessary.

"All are welcome to come along," said Lesley Lock, Family Support Hubs Co-ordinator. "But we do ask that people pre-book for all events. Whilst all are welcome to attend events from outside their immediate hub area, some hubs may be over subscribed for some dates."

Events and activities are free to attend but booking is essential. Events coming up include:
