We’re still not sure how this classes as a good deed for others when it’s so much fun for us. While we’d hesitate to call ourselves experts, after a few sessions we are definitely getting quicker at assembling the track and were even able to help some newcomers (who volunteered directly with AAC but we hope will join another GG session soon) troubleshoot when they got stuck on the wrong side of the tracks. Time flew by and we managed to finish our creation ready for the imminent arrival of the young people due to enjoy playing with the trains today.


This task supported
All Aboard Club Community Interest Company
Our activities are designed and run by specialists with lived experience of autism and ADHD. We understand the children’s challenges and the importance of their special interests.

Aboard Club runs play sessions for autistic and ADHD children, where they can build their confidence, develop their social skills and just be themselves. We provide a safe, understanding and inclusive environment for the children to enjoy their trains. The children are in charge. They can run trains around the track, or build their own track. They can choose from boxes and boxes of trains, track, tunnels and bridges.
