Message from The National Autistic Society:
"Asperger-specific support in Leicester City.
We have a vacancy in our Asperger Syndrome floating support scheme......" Read more»
Dear members, We have always prided ourselves on the fact that the club has been free to access, but in order to maintain the number of staff that we require to keep the club running we will have to charge members £1 for attendance as of 1st February.
Monday There have been some concerns raised about travelling to the Peepul centre from the city centre on a Monday evening in the dark. I will now be meeting anyone that wishes to walk to the club from the city centre at 6.00pm outside the MacDonalds entrance near to the clock tower. I will then be escorting the members to the club at 6.20pm. I hope to see you there. Chris
