Alpha Social Club

Social Club Overview

The Alpha Social Club was formed many years ago.  The group has grown substantially and now has formed its own Committee, whilst still being supported by Alpha.

The Alpha Social Group provides an opportunity for adults of all ages and various abilities across the Autism Spectrum, to meet and enjoy social activities in a friendly group environment.

When Activities Are On

The Club runs activities on the 3rd Monday of the month from approximately 4pm-6pm.

Cost

Membership in the Alpha Social Club is free, but members are expected to pay their own way to any activities they participate in.

Transport

Members are expected to make their own way to and from the activities. Most activities are chosen for their central location and a reasonable proximity to public transport.
