The Umbrella Group Meetings

The Umbrella Group Meetings logo

We are a parent led support group, for parents of children and young adults with ASD which has been running for 11years. We are known as The Umbrella Group, with its connotations of protection and covering a wide spectrum of behaviours which all come under the same umbrella of autism.

We normally meet once a month on the 4th Saturday but meetings can be rescheduled to alternative Saturdays to accommodate speakers and avoid school holidays.
