AGM 2019
Action for ASD's Annual General Meeting is due to take place on Monday 11th November at 6pm at our temporary offies at Northbridge House, Elm St Business Park, Burnley, BB1 1PD. Click on the links below for further details! |
New Temporary Offices
As many of you are aware, due to the ongoing safety concerns regarding the structual condition of the chimney on Kings Mill, we still aren't permitted to use the Autism Resource Centre. As the chimney is a listed structure, National Heritage are in involved along with Burnley Council in talks with our landlord to find a solution to the current issues. Due the ongoing issues, we decided to rent temporary offices in Northbridge House, Elm St Business Park, Burnley, BB10 1PD until further notice. All diagnostic appointments will take place in one of the meetings rooms we have rented along with various other meetings and training events. Please check the online calendar or contact the relevant staff member to confirm where and when the social and activity sessions/groups will take place. Please note, due to the limited space and availability of rooms and staff members, we are not able to accomodate drop-ins from clients or professionals. If you need to speak to someone face-to-face, please contact the relevant staff member, details listed below, by either phone, text or email. Please do not just turn up at the office as you may be turned away and we wouldn't want to disappoint anyone by having to do this. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these unforeseen circumstances. Our normal phone number of 01282 415455 will be diverted to the General Enquiries number at Northbridge House but staff have their own direct dial numbers at the new offices. Permanent staff emails and temporary phone numbers below:

Building closure update: ARC closed 23/08/19
The survey of the chimney has now taken place and the Landlord is now waiting to receive the surveyors report. Once this has been received our Landlord will inform us of the findings. Until then, the building has been closed off by the council and is not accessible by anyone. Therefore we have no choice but to keep the ARC closed. Staff members will be working from home again today, Friday 23rd August and all sessions are cancelled until further notice. We will send out a further update over the weekend to confirm if the LBT sessions will be taking place next week. We apologise for the disruption to our services. |
ARC closed due to health & safety
The Autism Resource Centre is closed today as the chimney on the building is due to be inspected to determine how it can be made safe. We apologise for the inconvenience but the safety of our staff and members is paramount. All sessions at the ARC have been cancelled but staff members are working from home. If you need to contact a staff member please do so via email and they will respond as soon as possible. Please check the website for updates, we will also send out emails to our mailing list as soon as we have any news. |
