Support For Autism

ACRE

ACRE was founded in 2014 with support from the Department of Health: Autism Innovation Fund. The centre is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Psychology at the University of Portsmouth and Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council.

Since then, ACRE has conducted research and developed evidence-based resources to improve employment opportunities for autistic people.

Autism Hampshire - Serendipity Community Groups

Our Serendipity Community Groups are a great way for autistic adults to meet in a supportive and non-judgmental setting. Each group is welcoming and encourages new members to join and participate in any way they feel able to. If a new member just wants to come to a group and listen to others, then that is respected and there is no expectation that every member needs to participate.

Some groups are delivered online, and some groups are delivered in person. All groups are facilitated by a trained volunteer as well as our Serendipity team and/or community partner organisations.

The Serendipity Community Groups are run by Autism Hampshire which is part of Avenues Group - a charity specialising in supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and complex support needs across South East England, London, Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Shropshire.
