mASCot is a place to seek and offer support for our amazing diverse families. It is often hard to fit in or know where to start accessing the support you need when you have an Autistic child/children.
It can be even more difficult if English is your second language or you are Black, Mixed heritage, Asian and from varying ethnic communities.
Within mASCot we have a wide diverse membership and we want to make mASCot as inclusive as we can. Liz has come onboard as our Culture lead to help us help our members be included in all we offer and in all they can access locally and nationally.
