Housing for Young Aspergers adults

[ginnyhumphreys]

I have just moved to Southwark from Lewisham where I am involved in a pressure group CLASH ( Campaign in Lewisham for Autism Spectrum Housing ) which was set up by parents who have young adults at home and who need to find independent living solutions. We have been campaigning for 3 years now and have come to the conclusion that the only way to make this happen is to find a a suitable property and set up the necessary support arrangements ourselves.

We need a property that could accommodate 4-6 young people , with lots of light , not too far from local amenities and with a garden. All of our members seeking accommodation have care assessments and the support they need to make this move towards independence They just need somewhere to go!

Anyone interested in knowing more about our association and the campaign can contact me personally . You may even know someone that would like to join us and become a member My email is [email protected]

I would also be interested to know of any support groups for families affected by Autism in the borough

Hello there.Sorry I can't help with a property.... But, there is a support group in Southwark. Email the NAS Southwark Branch at [email protected]

I think they now meet monthly or so in the Albrighton Centre.
