CASA Community Autism Support and Advice

CASA is a support and information service for autistic adults throughout Gloucestershire. CASA is for all autistic adults in Gloucestershire, and their families, friends, and support networks. The service is commissioned by Gloucestershire County Council. 

We provide groups, drop-ins, information, peer support, one-to-one support, and resources (see below for a list of these). Our drop-ins and groups are open to people who have an autism diagnosis and people without an official diagnosis. You can just turn up at our groups and drop-ins, no booking required. We currently run drop-ins in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, and Cinderford, plus a Young Autistic Adults 18-25 Friendship Group, and two online groups. To find out exactly where and when they take place, see the weekly reminders on our Instagram and Facebook pages, and they are also listed in our Drop-in Booklet.

At the groups and drop-ins you can find activities, advice, information, guest speakers, companionship, and peer support. If you think you would need support at first to help you attend a group or drop-in, we can also provide that. 

For individual support you can self-refer by phone on 01452 317460, or download and fill in our self-referral form (.docx file).

CASA News


  • During autumn 2025 we ran an inspiring, hands-on, 8 week Blacksmithing Course for Young Autistic Adults, thanks to funding from the Ironmongers Company and a link-up with the Earth Fire Iron exhibition at Stroud's Museum in the Park, where some of the students' final work was exhibited!
  • Also this autumn we've been busy helping other organisations to become autism and neurodiversity friendly, working with the Cheltenham Festivals (Literature, Science and Jazz), and Gloucestershire County Council's Occupational Health staff, and have worked with Gloucestershire Healthwatch and English Heritage.
  • We've just reached 1000 Followers on our social media! That's 400 followers on our Instagram, and 600 on our Facebook. It's great to be connecting with so many autistic adults, friends and families of autistic adults, and autism-friendly organisations in Gloucestershire!
