All Aboard Club
Wednesday 30TH October 2024
Session One: 10am - 11.15am and
Session Two: 11.30am - 12.45pm
We are delighted that Richard from All Aboard Club (formerly known as the Engine Shed) brings his trains to some of our special sessions!
All Aboard Club is a special interest group for children and young people with autism who like trains. They can play, talk and enjoy their interest in a welcoming, safe and relaxing environment. Children can both play with existing sets or build their own layout.
They have loads of Brio, Ertl and Tomy layouts to play with.
We suggest a minimum age of 4 years for this event, so that all children can enjoy this activity fully.
The venue is:
The Crossway Centre
306 Richmond Road
Twickenham
TW1 2PD
If the sessions are full, you can put your name n the waiting list here:

Please note, as with all Skylarks activities, anyone is welcome! Children with autism or any other additional needs, their siblings and parents, from any borough. Trains will be both on the floor and on table tops.
This activity is free of charge but donations are appreciated.

Parents must stay on-site to supervise their children. There will be one or two members of staff from All Aboard Club and one or two members of staff/volunteers from Skylarks present, but parents are still responsible for their children.
One parent who attended previously said: "I was having a terrible day/week with my son, I had to carry him from the car park to the centre and on arrival he was really upset and aggressive. I took him in and he calmed down and played with the trains non stop for well over and hour without coming to me, he was so happy. It was the only rest I had for days. Thank you so much for arranging this as we have travelled far in the past to access".
