Triple-A Project

The project will be using a mix of photography, printmaking & filmmaking to result in a large scale Photo-Wall & film to be shown at Penrith Castle for a 1 night exhibition in March 2026. Get in touch with questions or for further info

We are looking for Autistic & Neurodivergent creatives from Cumbria to participate in an Art Project which will be known as ‘Penrith Castle’.

It was lovely to see you there, and hope we get to see you again soon :)

Most of the services available for older people are not appropriate for autistic people, or they are not designed with them in mind.

A slide about the importance of listening --- REALLY listening. Listening to understand, rather than listening in order to reply

We will be holding Triple-A's 2025 Annual General Meeting this weekend at our offices in Penrith.

This is a perfect opportunity for us to thank our charity's Trustees for all the time, energy and expertise they give to running our organisation. We'd also like to thank our entire staff team

We'd love to see a wide range of autistic people at our Triple-A "Reconnect Day" on 18/3/25 in Penrith, Westmorland & Furness

This is also an opportunity for local authority staff across "Cumbria" and for NHS staff working in the autism field to come and meet people - real stakeholder engagement!

Date for your diary:
On 18th March 2025 we are having a Triple A "Reconnect Day" at Penrith Methodist Church in Cumbria

A Reconnect Day is when Autistic people and their families can meet with friends and organisations who may be helpful to them. There's lunch provided and it's all free!

Here's a pull-quote from that Embrace Autism report:

"Effective post-diagnostic support, like Embrace Autism, can give people the knowledge and the tools they need to live meaningful, happy and healthy lives, preventing people from experiencing crisis situations requiring acute support."

Embrace Autism report published - Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland Embrace Autism is a programme of pre- and post-diagnostic support for recently diagnosed or self-identifying autistic adults across Scotland, entirely designed and delivered by autistic professionals....

At Triple-A, we run NHS-funded post-diagnostic support groups in the area covered by the North Cumbria ICB. So we were interested to read this excellent January 2025 report on the Scottish "Embrace Autism" post-diagnostic scheme
