Ramble and Rail
We are excited to share our ‘Ramble and Rail’ group for young autistic adults aged 18 to 25 years old. The group will provide opportunities to get out and enjoy the countryside, taking guided walks reached by rail in the surrounding areas of Oxfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire. Please message us at mail@theengineshed.org.uk to be informed about forthcoming sessions.
If you would like to know more, require clarifications or just want to check sessions are on before you travel, please contact the Coordinator Sarah at mail@theengineshed.org.uk. There are also updates on our Facebook page, and you can follow us on twitter too.
