The recently formed peer led group, Make Autism Visible (MAV) is looking forward to celebrating its progress to date and attracting more support at its first AGM tomorrow!
Formed in response to a need to facilitate user groups for autistic adults in Moray, MAV provides access to a games group, book club, cinema group, lunch club, music group, a group specifically for women with Asperger’s, and guided walking groups. The group is in need of ongoing support; it is hoped that their AGM will attract people with an interest in autism to come forward, particularly those with skills in administration and fundraising. MAV are also looking for group helpers, co-ordinators and leaders for some of the groups, as well as people to assist Board members, or take up positions on the Board.
MAV is also keen to encourage people on the autistic spectrum to join their user groups. These groups are open to all adults over the age of 16 years who are autistic, particularly those with Asperger’s syndrome, a group that are currently under-catered for. Support from the wider autistic community in Moray could make a huge difference to MAV’s future and those with autism in Moray.
The AGM will take place from 3.30 to 5pm on 21 November at Moray Resource Centre, Maisondieu Road, Elgin.
