MEDWAY PUZZLES
In May 2019 a group of parents decided to form a new autistic group called Puzzles. Based in Medway and covering Kent, we go out every Friday with our members to places such as bowling, skiing, tobogganing, cinema and much more. We aim to bring families together to share experiences, meet others and spend social time with others who understand them.
