Passion Project Group

What is the Passion Project Group?

The group is to focus on your passion project or explore your special interest alongside others who are doing the same. This approach is sometimes referred to as body doubling or parallel play. You are also welcome to attend to observe passions and topics that you are interested in.


Who was the group for?

This is an 18+ group for Neurodivergent people and their allies. An ally is anyone who is connected to and part of the neurodivergent community but may not be neurodivergent themselves.


When does the group run?

In person sessions run monthly on the first Wednesday of each month.  Online sessions will be scheduled at a later date.

We are currently looking for more volunteers to facilitate this group. If you are interested in volunteering please contact our Admin team.

    What can I do in /during the session?

    Bring your passion project, special interest or an activity you'd like to do that can be done independently, please make sure what you bring:

    • Can be transported without assistance (we recommend something that can fit within an average backpack).
    • Is mindful of other participants space and sensory needs. For example, your activity does not produce so much noise that it disrupts others.
    • Can be completely cleaned up and packed away by the end of the session without assistance.

    If you are unsure of what you'd like to bring, Leslie has kindly provided some drawing materials as an alternative activity.
