Aspire launches in Peterborough

Autistic children and young people are brave, brilliant and creative, but they can often face significant social and sensory challenges, leading to anxiety and isolation. Through ‘Aspire’, Romsey Mill has been delivering youth clubs and developing support for autistic children and young people for nearly 20 years in and around Cambridge. And Romsey Mill has just started its first Aspire group in Peterborough.
