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 in collaboration with Showcase The Street Tech Hub. Social Connections @ Showcase Tech Hub is for autistic adults 18+, where people can enjoy access to a virtual reality arcade and technology experience centre, whilst reconnecting and meeting new people.
This group is an autistic safe space and provides a relaxed and friendly space for people to share a social space together and build connections with others.
Numbers attending the groups are limited to ensure a comfortable space for all therefore booking is essential. To find out more or book to attend, please email us at dundeeconnections@scottishautism.org or call 03030 034 020.
Please note there is a charge of £7.50 per person for this group; payable directly to Showcase The Street Tech Hub on the day.
