The Social Leisure Club (SLC) provides an avenue for youths and adults on the autism spectrum to meet on a regular basis in a safe, autism-friendly environment. Taking part in leisure activities encourages lifelong learning and promotes healthy lifestyles and social interaction among members.
SLC members always look forward to these once-a-month outings when they get to watch movies, go on picnics or engage in other outdoor activities. Members socialise, forge friendships and develop camaraderie with one another during these outings.
Members Served
Attendance has been very encouraging with more than 75% of volunteers and members regularly turning up for the activities.
SLC marked its 9th anniversary this year with a small celebration.
Until recently, all SLC activities have taken place in large group settings. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and safe-distancing regulations, SLC will be running programmes on online platforms instead.
The Club will continue to sustain the interests of the members through new programmes and interest groups.
