For Serendipity - Autism Hampshire

Register your interest

We are currently looking for a volunteer to support our Serendipity Community Group in Basingstoke.

We need organised and passionate individuals who want to support and/or facilitate community groups for autistic adults in their local community.

Our groups are designed to help autistic adults to meet in a welcoming and non-judgmental setting. We need friendly and caring volunteers to make this happen.

  • Helping with suggestions about new group activities.

We are also starting a brand new second group which will be held on a weekday evening, twice a month, from 5pm to 7pm.
