About the One Stop Shops
Autism Initiatives’ One-Stop Shops provide practical, welcoming support for autistic adults - and fundraising helps them go further.
Number 3
In Tayside, Number 3 offers scheduled drop-ins, interest groups and activities (such as arts and crafts, board games and baking), plus one-to-one advice. Its building includes social spaces, quiet areas, meeting rooms, computers and an autism-specific library, giving people somewhere safe to relax, connect and access information.
Number 6
In Edinburgh and the Lothians, Number 6 provides free social opportunities alongside time-limited one-to-one appointments focused on real-life issues such as employment, housing and benefits, helping people develop strategies and confidence.
Highland One Stop Shop (HOSS)
In Highland, the Highland One Stop Shop (HOSS) supports autistic adults across the region with drop-ins, groups and activities, and one-to-one advice; it also offers resources such as computer access and an autism-focused library, with additional outreach options like local drop-ins (e.g., Caithness) and exploration of services elsewhere.
One Stop Shops
Fundraising enables these services to enhance what core provision can cover—helping pay for autism-friendly spaces, equipment (like computers, games and activity materials), community activities, and staff time that makes personalised advice and structured groups possible. Donations therefore translate into more opportunities, reduced isolation, and better tailored support for autistic people and their families.
