The All Aboard team were back in Richmond for another play session for kids with autism and ADHD.
As usual, GoodGym was supporting the construction of a giant train track in a large room, this time at the Barn Church in Kew. Beth, Lucy and JP were the track engineers on hand.
We all started with our own section of track in a different part of the floor, and eventually connected them all into a layout that filled the room. This was adorned with bridges, tunnels, level crossings and stations to add to the interest for the kids.
We then helped to make a small track in a side room for children wanting to play in a quieter space. As the kids started to arrive we headed off to enjoy the rest of our Saturdays.

This task supported
Our activities are designed and run by specialists with lived experience of autism and ADHD. We understand the children’s challenges and the importance of their special interests.
Aboard Club runs play sessions for autistic and ADHD children, where they can build their confidence, develop their social skills and just be themselves. We provide a safe, understanding and inclusive environment for the children to enjoy their trains. The children are in charge. They can run trains around the track, or build their own track. They can choose from boxes and boxes of trains, track, tunnels and bridges.
