About this Event
SWAN has been working with Paths for All to train our autistic volunteers to become Health Walk leaders and run local walking groups for autistic women and non-binary people.
The SWAN walks offer a supportive and inclusive environment for autistic women and non-binary people. Beyond improving physical wellbeing, these walks provide an opportunity for socialisation and peer support.
The walks will be around an hour long at an easy social pace and are perfect for anyone who would like to become more active in the company of other autistic people. We will start from Ganavan Beach for this first walk and we may explore different places over time, adapt the walks, or add in extra ones, to suit people’s needs.
We can't always guarantee good weather so please make sure you dress for the weather conditions on the day

Who is this group for?
SWAN groups are safer spaces for autistic women and non-binary people over-18 who live, work or study in the local area.
SWAN is inclusive of all autistic women and non-binary people, including those who are exploring whether they are autistic, who self identify as autistic or are clinically diagnosed (private or NHS).
If these descriptions do not match you, we ask that you do not attend our groups unless they are specifically stated to be for non-autistic individuals. If you are a non-autistic person wishing to learn more about autism, visit our website for workshops and training: swanscotland.org/training
