Appeer Community Interest Company
Connecting Autistic Girls and Women
A Positive Peer approach empowering autistic women and girls, including their parents and carers, to connect, belong, express and flourish in a safe and supportive environment. At Appeer, everyone "fits in". We offer a place where autistic girls and women can meet like-minded peers and truly be themselves. Appeer is a not for profit organisation run to benefit autistic girls and women, and those around them. We are proudly lived-experience led, and we source neurodivergent input and talent at every opportunity. We provide online and in-person Sessions and Programmes which support A Positive PEER approach, through which autistic Girls, Teens and Women and their Parents/Carers can connect through sharing interests and receiving support. All our work is underpinned by our 6 key strands supporting life skills, social, emotional, and mental health and wellbeing, and promotes the understanding of autism. In-person Sessions and Programmes are currently based in venues in Surrey and can be booked by families living in or close to Surrey. Online Groups and Activities can be accessed by those who live both within and nearby Surrey (although Surrey families may be prioritised in some Sessions due to funding restrictions). Our current Programmes have been designed to support those who are diagnosed as being autistic or who are waiting for assessment for an autistic spectrum condition, who may also have other neurodivergent conditions. In the future we hope to expand our activities to support those with other primary neurodiverse conditions too, for example ADHD. We welcome applications from those who meet our admissions criteria, including those who identify as girls and women and/or those assigned female at birth who many be gender questioning and/or non binary (see our Admissions Policy). Our Offer includes: Weekday Groups - Alternative Provision half day groups during term time for autistic girls aged 7-25 over 4 sessions a week. These Groups enable the Girls, Teens and Young Women to socialise and connect with peers, enjoy interests, receive support around their understanding of being autistic and their neurodiversity and to access life/work skill and SEMH and wellbeing related activities. Monthly Girls Groups - interest groups for autistic girls aged between 7 and 12 and their parents/carers in Surrey. Monthly Teen Group - interest based group for autistic teenage girls aged 13-18 and their parents/carers in Surrey. Priority spaces are offered each month to families who attended the previous session, but then are opened to other families registered with Appeer. Monthly Women's Group - social interest based group for autistic young women aged 18+ to provide a space to connect with their peers in a low pressure environment. Online Sessions - a range of facilitated build and share sessions, including Minecraft and Scrapbooking, suitable for autistic girls from 7 to 18+ years. Holiday Activity Sessions -interest based sessions for autistic girls aged 7-18 which focus on baking, gaming, climbing, arts/crafts, animals and more taking place every month during weekends, school holidays and after school. Next Steps Programmes - A range of bespoke programmes designed to support autistic girls and women e.g. our supported work experience programme which helps autistic young women advocate for themselves in the workplace, connect with peers and get work experience. Parent/Carer Sessions - facilitated peer support alongside all our group sessions. Resources and Signposting - by way of Friends of Appeer for parents and carers and Appeer Allies for professionals i.e. schools.
