If you have never been to the Autism Hub before or have not been for a while, we have a visual guide to the venue we use for drop-ins and appointment-only sessions. Find out what each part of the Hub looks like and what each room is used for here!

Hub Entrance

This is the main entrance to the Hub. There is parking available at the building itself, including designated accessible parking bays. To enter, just walk near the sensor and the doors will open automatically.

Reception and Main Hall

This is the first bit of the Hub you will see once inside. At the reception desk, you will usually see David, our Hub Supporter. To sign in, just let David know your name and he will confirm who you are here to see.

The main area has plenty of seating and easy access to other parts of the building.

When you come in, a member of staff will show you where to go if you have an appointment. You don’t need to use this guide to find the room you will be in.

Leisure Space and Waiting Area

If you have an appointment or are just visiting for a drop-in, this is the best place to be. There is comfortable seating in this part of the Hub.

Garden Room

This room will mainly be used for one-to-one appointments for things like information and signposting, as well as other services we offer. It is next to the Garden Area.

Kitchen and Refreshments

In this part of the Hub, we will be serving refreshments including tea and coffee, as well as food during our twice-monthly drop-in Autism Hub sessions.

Toilets and Changing Place

At the Hub, there are accessible toilets, including a Changing Places toilet. All toilets here are gender-neutral.

Group Room and Lounge

This room will mainly be used for groups, including our monthly in-person Mental Health Peer Support Group that takes place on the first Thursday of each month from 6pm-7pm.

Activity Room

The Activity Room will be used for one-to-one sessions and potentially, in future, groups and activities.

Outdoor Seating Area

This is a peaceful part of the building where you can go outside for some fresh air if needed.

Garden Area

Finally, this is the main outdoor space where you can also get some fresh air. It is easily accessible from other parts of the building.
