Question 1

Where can I read the Rules and Guidelines for the group?

Accepted Answer

You can read all our all rules and guidelines here: https://swanscotland.org/uploads/files/SWAN_Places_Rules___Guidelines.pdf

Question 2

Can I bring a carer/friend to the group?

Accepted Answer

To maintain the group as a space specifically for autistic women and non-binary people over 18, we kindly ask that only those who fit that description attend the meetings. We completely understand, though, if you’d like someone to bring you or pick you up, but we ask if they wait outside the room.

Question 3

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

We kindly ask that you book in advance before attending the group. This allows us to accurately record attendance, which is essential for our funding and ensures we can keep providing this space. It’s also important for safeguarding reasons so we can ensure a safe environment for everyone attending.

Question 4

Can I just turn up?

Accepted Answer

If you aren’t able to book ahead, you can still sign up on the day using your phone when you arrive at the event. We’ll provide the information you need to book online at that time. However, we do encourage booking in advance whenever possible.

Question 5

Is the group strictly for over 18s only?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the group is strictly for people aged 18 and over. We aim to create a space that is supportive and appropriate for adults, so participants must be at least 18 years old to attend.

Question 6

What happens at the walk?

Accepted Answer

The walks will be less than an hour long at an easy social pace and are perfect for anyone who would like to become more active in the company of other autistic people.

Question 7

Can I access one to one support at this group?

Accepted Answer

While our peer  social walks and meet-ups offer valuable connection and peer support they are not intended to provide crisis intervention or one-on-one support. Please email our digital volunteers if you need information on support groups that might be suitable. info@swanscotland.org
