All are welcome – friends, relatives, partners and especially the undiagnosed (we all started out undiagnosed so know what’s what).
We’re really about adult ADHDers – we don’t have much to offer parents at the moment (apart from a non judgemental ear) but there are always ADHD parents of ADHD kids present. But if you’re a parent that’s not found help get in contact (email or come to a meet) and we’ll try to signpost you to someone with the knowledge you need.
The format is simple – there are no rules, no charges, no notes taken – you show up (we aren’t bothered if you turn up at your leisure) and ask anything you want, there’s usually someone with relevant experience. You don’t even have to talk about ADHD – it’s completely open.
And we’re friendly. ADHDers tend to be friendly and non-judgemental (who are we to judge?) and everyone had to come to a first meet, so we know what that feels like, so we’re very welcoming.
Look out for me (David) – mug shot below. That shirt is my meet ‘uniform’. Also Tufty the Squirrel, who will be on our table.
If you turn up to a meet and we’re not there (AFTER the start time) then check this WhatsApp group for updates
If you just want meetings information there is a chat free group – you might not be able to see anything until the next update.

Last time they were a bit Nazi with us and kicked us out at 9PM, so try to be as early as possible (we know it’s tough). We can move somewhere else at 9PM, but it’s a pain.

at
Heaton Norris Community Centre (the pavilion) 1-3PM
in Heaton Norris park.
To help matters along we can supply a limited range of drinks – if you’d like to bring some biscuits (or even cake!) that would be wonderful.
Since nothing in life is free I’d like to suggest you make a donation (bring a £1 coin or two) to cover these expenses – we have to rent this venue.
It helps if you have the WhatsApp group on your phone – if there’s any last minute updates that’s where they’ll be
Thursday 5th August 2021
Jackson’s Boat (pub) 7-9PM
Rifle Rd, Sale M33 2LX
The pub has a large beer garden – if it’s not raining we’ll probably be there.
It’s an open area so there might not be shade. Get sunscreen, or a hat, if you are sun bothered.
Well behaved dogs/children are welcome.
Jackson’s Boat can close early – it’s possible we’ll move on to the King’s Ransom (M33 2AA) especially if they still do the pub quiz.
If you have questions the easiest way to get attention is to PM us via our Facebook page
They have a pay and display car park – fee refundable if you make a purchase.
If you’re anything like me then you’ll take the free option and walk rather than trying to remember change/refunds. Both Sale Water Park and the tram stop have free parking – it’s a short walk away.
Getting there – car. Best to take Junction 6 of the M60. It’s signposted from there. Set sat-nav to M33 2LX.
Tram. The Metrolink Victoria-Manchester Airport line is a very short stroll away.
