Youth Connect | The Connect Centre, Colchester

What is Youth Connect?

Many young autistic people want to make friends, grow their confidence and get involved in new experiences, but often feel unsure where they fit in.

Youth Connect offers a welcoming, low‑pressure ‘youth club-style’ space for 10 autistic young people (12-16), where they can meet new people, try out activities at their own pace and feel supported every step of the way.
By creating a friendly environment filled with genuine connection, encouragement and new opportunities, Youth Connect helps young people feel more confident, more included and more themselves.

Plus, everyone is welcome and you don’t even need to have a formal diagnosis to come along.
