Due to school holidays there will be no F.ASD coffee morning in August.  The next coffee morning will take place on Wednesday, September 10th, from 10.30-12.30 (the second Wednesday of the month), hopefully at Lonsdale District Carers new premises on Euston Road.  These are informal sessions for people to browse through our member’s library and have a chat with other parent/carers of children with an ASD.  (Please note that these meetings take place during term-time only). 

 Soft Play – The next soft play session takes place on Sunday, 27th July at Salt Ayre Sports Centre between 2-3pm.  Please contact the Morecambe Carers Centre on 01524 833456 for more details.

 F.ASD is a support and information group who principally support parents with children and young adults who have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.  For more information on F.ASD, please contact Sue Brierly via the Morecambe Carers Centre.
