CASPA Beyond

Beyond is our service for autistic adults aged 22–30, providing a safe space to socialise and develop greater independence skills alongside individuals with similar interests. We meet weekly on Monday evenings from 7:15 pm to 9:00 pm at the West Wickham and Shirley Baptist Church.

Our sessions include arts and crafts, games, social events, themed activities, special interests, cooking, well-being workshops, and sports. These activities are designed to reduce social isolation, improve well-being, and help members build meaningful connections and friendships. A key focus is on encouraging members to form and maintain these friendships outside of CASPA, as well as to continue developing the skills they will need as they progress further into adulthood.

Friendly staff are on hand to facilitate groups and activities, offer guidance, and ensure a safe, engaging environment where members can thrive.

Beyond is a place to connect, learn, and celebrate individuality—empowering members to be themselves, develop independence skills, and build lasting friendships.

Alongside our core clubs, we provide:

• Two half-termly trips to places such as bowling, London, mini-golf, gaming venues, and much more.
• A monthly pub night where we play games and socialise.
• A monthly independence skills overnight stay.
• An annual residential weekend trip away!
