Young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often find it difficult to make friends, Tech Club provides our young people an opportunity to interact and socialise with their passions and interests of gaming / IT and Lego Therapy
Some of our older young people are now helping to volunteer at Tech Club - whereby they have taken on responsibility for duties at Tech Club to help younger members and also to enhance their CV and employability skills for the future

Technology Club FYD opened on 16th January 2016 it is a project to get young persons together to enjoy their passion for Gaming / Internet Technology / Raspberry Pi Coding / October 22nd 2017 We introduced Lego Club Free Building and Kit Building.
We are actively working at The Rivermead Center and welcome Young people to come to and enjoy the use of current Gameing Consoles like the Xbox One / Nintendo Switch/ WiiU/ Ps4/ Xbox 360/ to the retro games consoles of old like the Sega Master System / Nintendo 64 / Game Cube. We have had some Amazing Donations from Follow Your Dreams Charity / Members of the Public and Tech Club Members. These include Games Consoles and Games and our Gaming Library is fast growing.
