Autism support groups: a safe haven of understanding and connection
Are you or a loved on the autistic spectrum? Or do you feel that you might be? You’re not alone. Our support groups provide a warm, welcoming environment where individuals, famiilies and caregivers can come together to share experiences, gain valuable insights and forge meaningful connections.
Thriving Abilities: Gainsborough
A support group for people with autism to take part in activities, explore their favourite hobbies, and be part of a community.
Groups will meet every Tuesday, starting from 1 April, from 1pm until 3pm. Meetings are at Gainsborough Uphill Community Centre (GUCC) in The Esmee Room. Not sure how to find us? We’ve put together a downloadable pdf to help you find where you need to go. Just click the link below: (coming soon).
At the sessions you can participate in a variety of activities that match your interests, such as air-dry clay, diamond art, gaming, board games, or anything else you are interested in. Either just take part in the activities or make new friends and socialise at the same time, there’s lots of things to do.

Sam Dunton
Hello there, I’m Sam and a Sessional Wellbeing Support Worker at the Mablethorpe Wellbeing Hub. I am a bit of a geek and love anything with a good story. I’m at my best when helping others and do my best to create an atmosphere around me that is safe and free for anyone in my vicinity. This means you’re free to be yourself without any worry about being judged. I’m a self-diagnosed autistic guy who knows how hard it can be trying to ‘fit in’ to society, so I work hard to help everyone know they belong and that this world is far better with us in it!
