High 5 Club
High-5 Club – A Youth Club in Angus for Young People with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s
The High-5 Club meets during school term time on Wednesday evenings in Monifieth Parish Church’s, 41 High Street, Monifieth from 6:30-8:30pm and is run completely by volunteers.
The age group for the High-5 Club is from S1 onwards but young people in P7 may also be invited to join the club to help support their transition to secondary school.
Most weeks, the club is set out in the same way as routine is important for young people with autism. Weekly activities include, arts & crafts and board games. These activities give helpers and members the chance to chat about their interests in pairs or small groups, building confidence and communication skills.
Some weeks, however, there are more structured activities such as cooking, pizza and film nights and fitness sessions.
We also venture beyond the confines of the hall, favourites among the young people being cinema trips and occasional outings to local restaurants.
High-5 Club is part of Monifieth Parish Church of Scotland. Registered in Scotland – Scottish Charity Number SC008965.
