SEPTEMBER
After 18 years, a group set up by families affected by autism voted at its annual general meeting to cease operations, citing ‘lack of support from senior management over many years’ at Argyll and Bute Council as a primary reason for the decision.
The council said it was working with partners on residential resources in Garelochhead and Helensburgh and improving services for people with autism across Argyll and Bute through the Autism Toolbox.
