Darlington Tabletop community is a local inclusive group ran by Jessie Hall who is herself autistic, it is open to everyone to join and runs it through donations.
The group is a space where people can come together and play board/card games ( large selection of games), it is also a space where people can make friends/reduce social isolation and have conversations in an open and supportive atmosphere (peer - peer support). By people coming together to play these games and socialise it also has a positive affect on their wellbeing.
