All Aboard Club
Do you know an autistic, ADHD, or special needs child who loves trains?

All Aboard Club runs inclusive train play sessions for autistic, ADHD, and special needs children. The children can build and play with our huge train sets in a safe, understanding, and supportive environment.

At our play sessions, the children are in charge. They can run the trains, build the track, and sort out any problems. It builds their confidence, reduces their anxiety, and allows them to play for hours while developing their social and communication skills.

All Aboard Club staff and volunteers have lived experience of autism and ADHD, so we understand the children's challenges. We do everything possible to make the sessions as accessible and inclusive as possible for each and every child.

Our sessions are suitable for children and siblings aged 4 and upwards. A parent or adult carer needs to stay for the whole session.

If you’d like a chat about our play sessions and your child’s specific needs, please call us on 07948 407343 or email info@allaboardclub.comFor details and to book tickets, visit: https://www.allaboardclub.com/play-sessions/
