Welcome to Angels Support Group

Angels is a parent led voluntary organisation and Registered Charity set up in North Hertfordshire to support parents and carers of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

2012 is the start of our eighth year! We formed in 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.

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 (please see group rules below). We also manage to have some fun as well!!

Along with our well established Hitchin and Stevenage Groups we have a group in Royston. Hitchin, Stevenage and Royston have a free creche for members with pre-school children.

We also have one-to-one individual family support sessions on Tuesdays in Hitchin and Wednesdays in Stevenage. See the 1-1 Sessions page for full information.

Along with the support given to parents and carers, for the children we run various activities during holiday times.
