The Lovell Park Autism Hub is a service, run on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons by Leeds Autism AIM. The aim of the Hub is to provide information, signposting, advocacy and peer support for adults on the autistic spectrum and carers who have little or no funded support in place.
On the first and third Tuesday (also the fifth depending on where the calendar falls) of each month and on every Thursday from 4pm-7pm, the Hub is open for booked appointments only.
We are running drop-in Hub sessions on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 4pm-7pm.
At this Hub, we offer the following services
- Peer support
- Post-diagnostic support
- Limited advocacy support
- Information and signposting
- Advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau and sessions from Scope (employment), Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service and Engage Leeds (housing)
- Yorkshire Autism AIM‘s monthly in-person Mental Health Peer Support group
If you want to come to the Hub for a booked appointment, you must book with us first. You can do so by contacting us.
If you are coming to the drop-in Hub session on the second or fourth Tuesday of the month and haven’t referred to AIM before, please fill in our online referral form before attending.
