About this Event

NOTHING ABOUT US, WITHOUT US

Do you have a long-term health condition or disability? Maybe you’re autistic? Then this group is for you! A safe, relaxed monthly group to connect with other women+ & explore different themes with a break halfway through. The group is currently focused on creating an accessible transport guide for Renfrewshire.

Options to join in-person or virtually via Zoom, just let us know your preference when booking and the zoom link will be emailed out.

Booking: This event is free and open to all women and non-binary people, especially women+ who haven't been before. Book your ticket on Eventbrite, or alternatively, you can email [email protected] or call on 0141 3785078 to find out more or book a Welcome Meeting with a member of the team.

Food & drinks: we have snacks & hot drinks available for free, and there’s a free food pantry in the corridor & there is always sandwich ingredients in the kitchen so just ask.

Pantry & Free Shop: In our corridor, grab something from the free shop – clothes, toiletries, household items. Or why not see what you can find in the pantry? Lots of items to fill your cupboards.

Children: This group isn’t suitable for children, however, we can chat about this and work out a plan together so you can attend. You are welcome to bring children to the Creative Cafe or Community Soup groups. All children must be supervised by a parent/caregiver. We have a designated kids’ corner in the pink room.

Transport: We are a 12 minute walk from Paisley Gilmour Station and the main bus routes. There is a large car park in front of the building. We will need your registration number on arrival when you sign in for free parking.

Note on the space: we are based in the Embroidery Mill, directly across from Morrisons car park. We’re the mill building without the tall tower nearby. Find out more on our Contact page.

Accessibility information: our space is on the ground floor and is wheelchair accessible with an accessible bathroom. Go to our Accessibility & Inclusion page for more information.

Sensory information: Kairos is a very colourful space that can be noisy during busy groups. We use lamps in our spaces to reduce sensory overwhelm and fidget toys are available. Speak to someone before coming along so we can advise you of quieter spaces. We can adapt to make the space more comfortable and accessible for you!
