Type of service: Social groups

BASC is designed for young people with Asperger syndrome aged 14+, giving them the opportunity to engage in activities such as drama, crafts and music in a purpose built music and dance studio based at The Maypole Youth Club, Idmiston Court, Druids Heath, Birmiingham B14 5NJ. It also offers ice skating, tenpin bowling, cinema trips, meals, pub quizzes and even rock climbing. A second set of similar activities for parents/carers and siblings is run at the same time. In this way the Club offers social support to young people as well as their families to help solve the problem of isolation and prejudices they often face.
