Upcoming Events with The Toby Henderson Trust at the Autism Hub

4th April 2025K Millican

Family Support

We provide tailored pre diagnostic, throughout diagnosis and post diagnosis family support sessions either Face-to-face at the Autism Hub, or via zoom calls, emailed correspondence, or telephone calls which ever works best for each family.

We send follow up emails after all support sessions which include an overview of the conversation held and attach resources and links, strategies, advice and recommendations and if necessary, we print and post relevant resources to families.

Most importantly we are here to listen…without judgement and offer a hug and cuppa if needed.

Monthly Cuppa & Cake groups for parent/carers

All future Cuppa & Cake dates can be found on our website Autism Hub Events – The Toby Henderson Trust (ttht.co.uk) along with other events and information regarding TTHT at the Autism Hubs services.

Webinars           

We have a number of FREE webinars that families can book on to, covering a wide range of topics – Toileting, Food, Managing Meltdowns, Teens, Autism and Mental Health, Sensory Issues, Siblings etc.   We add new webinar dates on a regular basis.  Check out our Webinar page Webinars – The Toby Henderson Trust (ttht.co.uk).

Borrow Bags and Boxes

Our Borrow Bags and Boxes Scheme is very popular with families.  Families can borrow sensory toys and equipment from us, a sort of try before you buy!  Check out our website link for further details –  Borrow Bags & Boxes – The Toby Henderson Trust (ttht.co.uk).

School Consultation Service

We offer a FREE education consultation service to organisations in South Tyneside where we can arrange an appointment (1 hour) via Zoom or telephone to discuss an Autistic pupil (no diagnosis needed) and their needs. Autism Specialist Practitioners from The Toby Henderson Trust can provide advice and strategies which are tailored to that pupil, as we recognise that each child is different, requiring an individualised and unique approach.

For further details or to book please email: [email protected]

TTHT at the Autism Hub is open Monday – Wednesday 9am – 4pm.

Please be aware that we do have a voicemail service so a message can be left, and our lovely family support administrator Jay will pick it up during our working hours and return the call. We do not return missed calls.

Telephone 0191 816 0550. Alternatively, we can be contacted by email [email protected]
