Matthews Hub provides social activities, advice, support, guidance and mentoring for autistic people age 16+ with or without a formal diagnosis formally known as high functioning autism or Aspergers syndrome. We support autistic people throughout Hull and the East Riding. It includes a social network which supports and assists in accessing learning, volunteering and work opportunities. Matthews Hub also delivers Autism Training across the region either as off the shelf training packages or to meet bespoke requirements. Training is delivered either as a short introductory session or as a full day package and will always be delivered by at least one autistic person. Matthews Hub; its your place, at your pace. This is a place to keep in touch, meet up, and make friends. You make the choices. Offering a warm and welcoming environment, Matthews Hub provides individual support programmes designed to help people maximise their potential and also offer group social and leisure activities. Matthews Hub works with people to build confidence and self-esteem, develop real skills to enable people to take up volunteering and work opportunities. The support enables people who attend Matthews Hub to move from doing things alongside others to doing things with others. We aim to promote and achieve a more personalised service to raise the profile of these individuals, enabling them to maximum their independence and choices alongside reducing their social isolation. Matthew's Hub is currently (during February and March 2014) undertaking consultation and a scoping exercise to ascertain what services are available and what gaps there are. We want to hear from organisations about services which may be of interest or benefit to people with high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Equally we want to be in contact with people living with high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome; Matthew's Hub wants to know what advice you need and what help would make a difference. Referrals to the service will come from individuals themselves, GPs, social or health care services.
