It gave us and our members the perfect opportunity to thank her personally for raising more than £1,500. It also meant that we were able to show Jools just how much our youth club means to the young people who attend it and the huge impact her fundraising will have for us.

This money, alongside a grant from BP Collins, means that our Youth Club can continue to run for another 12 months.

We are truly grateful and can’t thank her enough.

Our Youth Club provides a supervised space where, autistic people aged 16-24 years old, can meet people, chat, and have fun. There are also organised activities provided such as sports, crafts, music and much more.

Taking place on the last Friday of each month, there is no charge to attend. Each session is supervised by fully trained Talkback staff members and, as such, we do ask that places are booked in advance. The session takes place from 6-8pm, you can book your space, here.
