Autism NI’s local Lisburn Support Group recently enjoyed a family fun day at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens as part of the Community Access Scheme, in partnership with Louise Smith (Learning Producer for Communities).

Autism NI’s Support Group Co-Ordinator, Kiely Lawlor, said “This event was a fun filled family day, and the weather was very kind as we explored the beautiful acres of the gardens.

"This event gave so many parents an opportunity to meet other families within their local area, and it was great to see our children playing together and enjoying all the fun activities on offer.

I would also like to thank all our volunteers and supporters who made the success of this event possible.”
