We understand how important it is for everyone to have an equal opportunity to socialise and connect with others. Our friend matching events are designed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for adults who are neurodivergent.

Here's what you can expect at the Friendships for All Program:

• A quiet and warm ambience where you can relax and be yourself.
• An opportunity to expand your social circle and make new friends.
• Each guest has a brief one-on-one conversation with potential friends to identify those with whom a friendship could develop. You will be given a clipboard to write the other guests names, all guests will rotate around the tables to have the opportunity to meet everyone.
• Self-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals are welcomed to this event.
• No rejection on the day of the event. Our focus is on creating a positive and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
• A fun and engaging atmosphere with icebreaker cards to help you get to know one another.
• Professional and friendly event hosts who are dedicated to making your experience as enjoyable as possible.
• The activity lasts for just over 2 hours, where each guest has 8 -10 minutes to ask their new friend questions. (toilet and drink breaks half way).
• You're welcome to bring a support person (to help with your nerves).
• Hosts will email guests the following day with possible friend matches
