About Us
Our Mission
Peninsula Autism Friendship Group aims to provide connection & support for autistic individuals and their families.
We offer regular friendship and social groups for autistic young people ranging in age from preschool to young adulthood, as well as both online support and face-to-face support groups for carers.
Our Vision
We would like to see a world where the autistic journey is less isolating, where no matter your age or stage of diagnosis, you are part of a community that understands.
We are an autistic-led organisation and believe in the importance of autistic young people having autistic mentors to learn from and connect with.
Our Values
As an autistic-led organisation, we believe in strengthening and upholding autistic voices and advocating for diversity in the wider community.
We believe in showing up authentically, exactly as you are, and having the space and grace to make mistakes and try again.
