What the charity does

NOCS provides social support, facilities and development opportunities for people with high levels of social anxiety and difficulties with social interaction, particularly due to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mental ill-health and rural/social isolation. People in our community form lasting friendships, gain self-confidence and, over time, develop their skills and start to manage their anxiety.
