Welcome to Angels Support Group. Angels is a parent led voluntary organisation set up in North Hertfordshire to support parents and carers of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
It began in 2004 as a response to families in the community in desperate need of support for themselves and their children. All of our volunteers have children with either ADHD or an autistic spectrum disorder and are committed to providing a resource that people will find both useful and accessible, making it available to as many families as possible. Raising a child diagnosed with ADHD and/or ASD can be very challenging to any parent or carer without the right support. Our aim is to help to empower parents and carers and encourage them to feel confident in supporting their child, both in the home environment and educationally.
As well as the Hitchin Group we now have a group in Stevenage - SEE OUR NEWS & EVENTS PAGE FOR AN UPDATE ON STEVENAGE. The Groups are "adult only" time where we offer friendship, support, the sharing of ideas, difficulties and concerns, and we help to reduce isolation. There is plenty of opportunity to talk freely and discuss issues with other parents who completely understand the difficulties we all face. We support each other and offer a friendly meeting place to talk about all kinds of issues. We also manage to have some fun as well!!
The Hitchin Group has a free creche for members with pre-school children.
Hitchin also has a lending library where there is an extensive range of books that can be taken out by members on a Tuesday.
If you would like to join Angels Hitchin please complete our application form. Membership is FREE.
