Our next Glasgow SWAN meet-up will be on Friday 31st January between 12 -2pm in Glasgow City Centre. Please private message or email swan.scotland@gmail.com for further information and details of location.

*Young swan meet-up*
In addition to our usual monthly get together for adult women who are formally diagnosed or self identified as autistic we are also hosting our parallel group for autistic teenagers/young women aged 15+ on the same day and time & within the same location.

Any young women attending who are between the ages of 15 - 18 years old MUST be accompanied by a supporting female adult for the duration of participation in Young SWAN meet-up. Specific enquiries about this event can be addressed via the contact details given. We are confident that this opportunity to access peer support among the female autistic community will be of great benefit to those involved.

The meet ups are open to old friends and new and there is no commitment involved in coming along. We look forward to welcoming all who can attend our dual event.rony@swan 😀 ...
