Sibling Superstars Support Group

sibling superstars

At Sibling Superstars, Children aged 6- 16 years can meet other children with similar experiences, enjoy activities and talk about the good and not so good parts about having an autistic sibling.

We meet once a month on a Thursday from 6.00pm- 7.30pm.  There is usually a small charge per session however at the moment, Sibling Superstars is free of charge thanks to funding from the Ballinger Charitable Trust.

Places are limited and must be booked in advance. To book a place, email Lynda at lynda.richardson@ttht.co.uk

Recent feedback from families whose children attended a Siblings Superstars session for the first time:

“Thank you so much for your fantastic Siblings group. Our daughter came home buzzing but the most important thing for me was she said, “I’m not the only one” bless her, I think for all I told her, I think she thought no one else knew or understood. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.

Recent feedback from families whose children attend Siblings Superstars sessions:

“The sibling sessions have been an amazing support for our family. After my son’s diagnosis in 2022 my daughter started attending Siblings and this has helped her understand the autism spectrum a lot more and how different it is for everyone. She has built friendships with children who have similar lives and also build trust in the TTHT staff which is a safe space for all”.

“The superstars sessions have really helped my daughter have some time away from what can be a challenging home life due to her siblings autism. She has had the opportunity to just let her hair down without things coming to an abrupt end due to her sibling. It has also helped her be able to talk about any worries that she may have in a safe environment. Sibling superstars has been invaluable!!! “

“My daughter says it makes her really happy, she has made lots of new friends and it would normally be hard for her to make new friends. As her Mum I would say I’ve never known her to want to go to anything outside of school, she never worries about going and seems so comfortable.   It has given her the chance to meet like-minded people who she gets on really well with which has helped her confidence a lot.  She is always so happy when she has been! “
