Membership at The Kids Coach Autism Community Hub
Our membership model is designed to create a safe, welcoming space where autistic individuals of all ages can socialise, relax and access sensory-friendly environments alongside their families and support networks.
Family Membership – €50 per month
Our Family Membership is designed for autistic children and teenagers and costs €50 per month. Membership includes:
• One social club session per week (Monday to Friday, 2:00pm–4:30pm)
• Access to the sensory room when available
• Use of the parent lounge
• Access to shared play spaces such as the hall when not in use for scheduled activities.
Social club sessions provide a relaxed environment where children can socialise, enjoy free play and use sensory equipment while parents remain on site.
Adult Membership
Adult Membership is for autistic adults who would like to be part of the hub community. Adult members can access the hub during designated opening hours, use the sensory room when available and spend time in shared community spaces. They will also have opportunities to attend adult social events and activities organised through the hub.
Groups, Services & Organisations
We work with local services and organisations who support autistic adults or individuals with additional support needs. These groups can book sensory room sessions or use the hub’s facilities during daytime hours when available. This allows services to offer sensory-friendly experiences and community-based activities in a safe, welcoming environment.
Access to hub spaces is always subject to availability and scheduled programmes.
