Parents support

Support for Parents and Carers

At Matthew’s Hub, we understand that parenting a young person with autism can come with both rewards and challenges. That’s why we’re committed to supporting the amazing parents and carers of our members every step of the way.

We offer free advice and guidance on a wide range of topics, including:

• Accessing appropriate support for your child
• Understanding benefit entitlements and how to apply
• Finding relevant local and national services

You're always welcome to contact us directly at hello@matthewshub.org to speak with someone who understands and can help.
