## **Trustees Report Period: 1St April 2022 – 31st March 2023** 

Downpatrick Autism Family Support Group is a parent led support group set up in 2017 to help support families with a child on the Autism spectrum in the Downpatrick & surrounding areas. We offer support to families both before and after a diagnosis. We continuously liaise with our members to find what areas they would like help with. We then source funding and a facilitator. In most instances these activities or services would not readily be available to families. We currently have 257 local families registered as members.
