Event Information
Connections is an information, advice and support hub in Dundee. As part of the Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership, Connections provides information and support for adults who identify as autistic, at any point of your journey. Connections’ Community Advisors provide advice and support to autistic people with or without a diagnosis, either in person or virtually.
Come along to our Social Connections group at Cake or Dice Community Cafe. Social Connections is for autistic adults 18+ where individuals can enjoy playing tabletop games or just get a hot drink or a slice of cake, whilst reconnecting and meeting new people.
This group is an autistic safe space and provides a relaxed and friendly space for individuals to share a social space together and build connections with each other.
If you would like to chat with the group host, or arrange to meet the group host before attending the group, then please contact us at dundeeconnections@scottishautism.org or call 03030 034 020.
